Sometimes it can get hot in the Netherlands. The last couple of years summer hasn't arrived when we expected it, but it surprised us at the strangest moments. Whenever summer is, when the temperatures rise you might be looking for places where you can cool down a bit. Whether it's a local beach near Eindhoven you're looking for, a huge lake in a town nearby, or an indoor swimming pool, we have it all. Here's a little overview of the places to explore:

  • Ir. Ottenbad, in- and outdoor swimming pool in Woensel, 0-3 years € 3,00, 4+ € 6,00
  • IJzeren Man (Iron Man), man-made lake with beaches, northeast from the city centre, 4+ € 4,00

Are there any lakes/rivers that are actually free to swim around Eindhoven?

The Strandbad in Nuenen is missing in this article, a very fine lake to swim in.

Eindhoven is a city in the NETHERLANDS...not Holland...If one of the goals is to educate and inform foreigners, do feed the general misconception that Holland is the same as The NETHERLANDS... I,m a Nederlander, Not a Hollander

Holland = 2 of the provinces in the Netherlands, North Holland and South Holland. The entire country is the Netherlands.

It would help us considerably if the Dutch stopped calling their country "Holland" when speaking English. Blame the Dutch.
