Cologne is looking forward to the 11th dog swimming in the stadium pool – fun for four-legged friends!
The eleventh edition of dog swimming will be celebrated in the stadium pool in Cologne on Sunday, September 21, 2025. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., dogs can jump in the water, dive and just play - a great event for all dog owners and their four-legged friends! The Cologne stadium pool opens its doors for this exciting event, which brings a lot of joy not only to the dogs, but also to their people.
Entrance tickets can now be purchased online via the KölnBäder website. The price for a dog and its owner is 10.30 euros, while each additional dog can swim for 5 euros. The cards are non-cancellable but transferable, making it easy if plans change at short notice. A nice side effect: one euro from every ticket goes to the Cologne- Zollstock animal shelter, which shows that something good is being done for the welfare of the animals.
