Swimming

Due to current rules regarding employee benefits, it is only possible to offer swimming to employees on campus Odense.

Admission requirements

Stay updated on entry requirements on the website of Odense Idrætspark

Access to the swimming pool between 06:00-08:00

As an employee at SDU, you have the opportunity to swim in the morning between 06:00 and 08:00 on weekdays.

Because it is also open to the public during the period, you must wear a wristband while swimming. The wristband is pulled from the ticket machine on the way in. Before you can draw a wristband from the ticket machine, you must have created an access card to the swimming pool (see how to do it, below). The access card only works for the University Swimming Pool.

Access to the swimming pool between 08:00-14:00

If you swim between 08:00 and 14:00, you do not have to pull a wristband. Instead, you should check if the swimming pool is available on SDU's (IOB) schedule. If the swimming pool is available, you can just go to the changing room.

SDU regularly updates the schedules with admission times. Therefore, remember to look before you go to the swimming pool.

Schedules with admission times can be found at the bottom of this page. The schedule is also hanging on the wall in the swimming pool near the door to the changing room. Questions regarding the form must be directed to SDU.

Access to the swimming pool on Fridays between 12:00-13:00

If you want to swim between 12:00-13:00, it is not necessary to register as a user. The only requirement to swim during this time is an employee card. If you do not have an employee card, you must bring a contract or something else that shows affiliation with SDU. This document may be on your mobile.

Procedure for creating a pass:

Create a profile in Easy Ticket

Create a profile in the swimming pool's ticket system – Nem Billet. If you already have a profile, you don't need to create a new one. The admission ticket will simply be placed in the same place as your other tickets. Create a profile on the website:  https://shop.compuapp.dk/odensesv

Contact Odense Sports Park

From your SDU email, write an email to idraetsparken@odense.dk

Your email must contain:

• That you want access to the swimming pool in the morning as an employee at SDU.
• What information your profile has been created with, name, address, telephonenumber and email.

If you do not have an SDU email, remember to attach a picture of your staff card.

Odense Idrætspark creates an access card on your profile and will notify you afterwards.

In addition to the above times, the admission form below shows during which periods and in which weeks access is available to students and employees at SDU.

Note that it is not the same for all weeks.

If the schedules show that the swimming pool is closed on the day in question (marked in yellow), this will also apply to the morning hours from 06:00 -08:00.  The schedule is indicative and the right to change is reserved!!

For larger swimming events, the swimming pool may be closed for swimming for employees.

Otherwise, follow the instructions from the staff in the swimming pool.
