- Hannah GPortsmouth, United Kingdom7 contributionsSea swim and heated poolHad a great time here. The pool was heated to around 33° and it was snowing when i visited - very cool to be swimming in the snow! There is a lifeguard watching the steps going into the sea at all times, which was reassuring as it was 3°! The sauna was great too, with views across the harbour and even a glass bottome to the ocean below. The changing rooms and showers were warm and clean, although for british/american travellers, be aware that there are no seperate changing cubicles or shower cubicles. The locals aren't prudish like we are and everyone happily changes and showers no problem. I loved it here so much i went back a second time later in my stay.Visited February 2024Traveled soloWritten February 11, 2024

You can use the heated saltwater pool, the sauna or jump in the sea. A fantastic experience. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting BerganVisited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 9, 2024
- BR architect30 contributionsGreat experience, and not too touristy :-)Found this place when looking through a list of Bergen attractions, then reading the reviews. Absolutely spot-on. OK, so it’s not “luxury” but it’s clean, affordable, and full of locals. And the experience of diving into the cold sea is incredible! Note that the prices on the website are from 2021 in English, but latest in Norwegian is easy enough to check. Pay when you get there and they give you an electronic tag to open the doors and operate the (free) little lockers for valuables.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 25, 2024

A hidden treasure in Bergen. Nordnes seawaterpool is located by the sea along with beautiful and green surroundings. The seabath provides a variety of different facilities to enjoy like two saunas (unisex), wardrobes with showers and storage lockers. When you enter the quay area, you will find several different activities such as the heated seawater pool at 30-35c °, the diving tower, diving board in the sea, freshwater showers, heating room on the second floor, heating area with chairs and patio heaters, kiosk and outdoor sauna right on the quayside.
During the summer or in nice weather, there is a large grass area where you can relax and get your tanning on. Here families can bring their children, or friends can meet for a relaxing time. There is also a kids pool located in this area.
If you ever visit Bergen, and you enjoy these kinds of activities, Nordnes seabath is a must to visit!

Absolutely excellent experience. We came twice this week, once on a dull day when it wasn't so busy and then again today when it was extremely busy due to the very hot day.
Both days excellent, we swam in the adjacent sea a lot and it was not nearly as cold as you might expect! I was there with two late teenagers and they thoroughly enjoyed it too. All ages and generations were present.
Pretty reasonably priced as well, for well over two hours fun. And we could easily have stayed longer if we wanted.

We bought the kids here for an afternoon during the Bergen leg of our Norway visit.
The views from the swimming pool are amazing. There’s the main pool, children’s pool, saunas and places to sunbathe. Taking a dip in the sea, whilst cold, is a must. The staff were friendly and facilities clean. There are lock boxes for valuables, clothes etc can be left in the changing rooms or by the pool. Food and refreshments are available by the pool too. If you have a buggy - there are quite a few steps down to the entrance of the pool.
A great way to spend an afternoon, and we’ll be back when we return to Norway!

Drizzly day in Bergen, already saw the museums and sights I wanted, what to do? Spend a lovely couple of hours at the town pool! Heated half-salt water pool for leisurely laps, 2 saunas, one with a view over the fjord, and a lifeguarded swimming area in the fjord you can leap into to get your Viking on! Very relaxing way to hang with the locals without thousands of fellow tourists. Loved sweltering in the sauna while gazing at the view. HIghly recommended.

Not only is this far away from the shuffling tourists of the Bryggen area, but it's a great way to spend time outdoors, jump into the sea water, and meet actual Norwegians. But be warned, it's a small-ish pool meant for the community, not a tourist attraction, so on sunny days it can get crowded.

We got lucky to be in Bergen in the few very hot days during summer end of July. This saltwater swimming pool was the highlight for the kids (7 and 11). We also took advantage to swim in the fjord that was over 20 degrees warm and very refreshing. The place is small and can get crowded, but we loved it anyway. An easy 15 minutes walk from the city centre. There is also a nice playground close by with a few climbing walls and trampolines.

Such a cool place to visit. The heated pool isn’t super warm but if you rotate being in the hot dry suana, then jump in the cold fjørd, and then relax for a little bit in the heated seawater pool, you feel so alive and refreshed. You get a spectacular view while you are there. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they are working on getting lockers set up (because they’ve recently opened) but the front desk will hold your stuff if you don’t feel comfortable leaving it around the pool area. They have things for sale like snacks, goggles, and shampoo. It takes about a 25-30 min walk from the city center but it’s a really nice and easy walk, not need to find transportation. Once you get to the end of the street there is a park with a walkway to follow down to the pool itself, so it’s kind of hidden but don’t worry, it’s easy to find as long as you can get by the water.
Don’t be scared to jump in the fjørd, it’s super refreshing and a great story to tell your friends when you get home!

I was desperate to get in the sea while away, luckily we had one relatively sunny day so we took advantage.
The changing areas are clean and small lockers are provided for valuables, you are able to take you bag outaide around the pool which we did.
When we arrived there were only a handful of people there. We bravely jumped into the sea water which was really quite cold but bearable and definitely a refreshing 2 mins! After that you can get into the heated seawater pool, it isn't deep so good if you have kids with you. Deep enough to swim though. The lane closest to the sea was roped of for lanes.
The best part about this place is the view we went around 4pm and the sun was shinning right onto the pool.
We then used the sauna to warm up.
Great place to visit if you want to brave the sea with the safety of a lifeguard (it does give quite a shock) and chill out after a long day of walking.

Is the sea water pool heated during winter? Also is the Sauna mixed sex?
Written November 3, 2019
I think the pool is heated as my son said it was warm. I think the saunas are in the lockers rooms, thus single gender
