Frognerbadet ("the Frogner Baths") is a pool complex in the borough of Frogner in Oslo, Norway. It was designed by architect Frode Rinnan.[1]
Located adjacent to Frognerparken, it opened in 1956, and doubles as a public bath and swimming pool and a professional swimming venue.[2] The festival Norwegian Wood used to be hosted within its premises. It is also associated with the origins of death diving, and hosts the annual Døds Diving World Championship.[3]
It has two 50-meter pools, one with 8 lanes for competitive swimming, and a diving pool with springboards and platforms at heights of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 meters.[4]
