The Badi Glarus (Ygruben Swimming Pool) has been the historic outdoor swimming complex of the municipality of Glarus since 1922 – with a listed north wing and a history stretching back over 100 years. It is a meeting place for all generations: for families with young children, school groups, sports enthusiasts and pensioners.
The Pro Badi Glarus association, with around 360 members, will continue to run the facility from 2027 onwards under a service agreement with the municipality. In accordance with our articles of association, our aim is to preserve, promote and further develop a publicly accessible swimming pool, to provide leisure and social activities that bring people of all ages together, and to ensure broad and affordable access for the entire population.
The kiosk with its seating terrace (40 seats) is a central feature of the complex. It serves as a meeting place and refreshment area, and makes a substantial contribution to the financial viability of the facility.
