Second indoor swimming pool receives new political support
The construction of a new indoor swimming pool would be widely supported in the current and future city council despite the high costs. This is shown by the evaluation of the Landbote survey among the ten candidates.

It is undisputed that the swimming areas become too scarce, especially in winter. The big city of Winterthur only has one indoor swimming pool, albeit a newly renovated one, the Geiselweid. However, plans to cover the outdoor pool in the “Geisi” failed twice because of the urn, most recently those of an air dome. This again raised the question of a new building.
This summer, parliament then pushed through that the city council must examine such a project in detail. With reference to the high costs of construction (35 to 50 million francs) and operation (3 to 6 million per year), the government declined, but in vain. Parliament remained firm and declared a corresponding motion to be substantial.
