Thanks for your interested in the Kevelaer Swimming Club!
What started with an idea and a handful of dedicated locals nearly 30 years ago has, over time, grown into the largest club in Kevelaer. Countless Saturdays, many (very many!) paper membership cards and countless hours of voluntary work have kept the outdoor pool running and made it what it is today!
After 30 years of ‘manual administration’, it’s time for us to enter the digital age too! Every innovation brings change with it.
This year will be the last time you can sign up for membership in person at the outdoor pool. Our volunteers will be on hand to help with this. This year will be the last time you can sign up for membership in person at the outdoor pool. Our volunteers will be on hand to help with this on the following Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm .
09.05.2026 / 23.05.2026 / 30.05.2026 / 06.06.2026 / 13.06.2026 / 20.06.2026 / 27.06.2026 / 04.07.2026 / 11.07.2026 / 18.07.2026 / 25.07.2026.
From 2027 you will only be able to join the swimming club online or via digital channels. Memberships will no longer be sold over the counter on Saturdays. We are happy to accept your applications during October til end of January Unfortunately, for organisational reasons, it is no longer possible to join the swimming club during the current season. Submitting the online application after 02.01. will therefore only apply from the following year.
Furthermore, membership is now only available via the SEPA Direct Debit payment method.
Membership cards will be sent out approximately 10 weeks after the membership fee has been collected (collection on 15 February each year).
Every membership card features a QR code and is valid indefinitely, so there is no longer any need for an annual renewal. As a member of the swimming pool association, you naturally enjoy free entry to the outdoor pool with your membership card!
We are delighted to take this step together with you and to welcome you as a new member of the Bäderverein Kevelaer e. V.!

Operating and maintaining the outdoor pool costs a lot of money. Every euro donated therefore goes towards maintaining the Kevelaer outdoor pool. Even if you are not a member, you can still support our work and thus the outdoor pool. The Bäderverein Kevelaer e.V. is a registered non-profit association. You will of course receive a donation receipt from us upon request.
We use the donations for maintenance measures and investments in the outdoor pool. Every little donation helps us.

Last week, eight new trees were planted at the outdoor pool by the Kevelaer municipal maintenance department, including mulberry, field maple, leatherleaf, and ironwood trees. Poolgoers are delighted with the new trees: there’s no better way to enjoy the sunbathing lawn than in the shade of a large tree. However, trees not only provide shade but also naturally cool the surrounding area with the moisture in their leaves. In addition, they filter dust from the air.
Thanks to numerous donations, the Swimming Pool Association was able to cover the cost of the new trees. Thank you very much!
