Actic Delphinenbadet is on Magistratsvagen in Lund. It holds a 4.1 rating from 167 Google reviews. Before you drive there, one member has a warning that costs nothing to heed: "There is no parking right outside this place."
That's the kind of thing you only learn once, expensively, circling a Swedish residential street.
Pool, Gym, Sauna
The offer is broader than a gym. A member sets it out: "Excellent place for gymming and swimming. Very clean swimming pool for adults and kids. There is a small and separate pool for kids. Kid below 5 should always be accompanied by an adult. The gym is highly sophisticated and is unisex."
Another confirms the range in five words: "Gym, variety of fitness classes, sauna, swimming pool."
So: two pools, one of them a separate children's pool with a supervision rule, a sauna, classes, and a gym floor. For a family in Lund that combination is the argument.
Changing rooms were renovated. A member in March 2019: "nice and clean (newly renovated changing rooms)."
The Two-Star, And Why It Matters
Here's the counterweight, and it's specific enough to take seriously: "They have good group classes. The overall gym equipment is good, but often broken and unmaintained. Air quality is quite bad; ventilation really needs an upgrade. Customer service mostly ignores your questions."
Three separate problems: maintenance, ventilation, and staff.
Now hold that against this, from a member with more history than anyone: "Solid and delivers constantly over the last ten years."
Ten years of consistency versus broken kit and bad air, both posted around the same time. I can't reconcile those and I won't try. What I'd note is that the ten-year member wrote six words, while the two-star wrote a specific list. Detail isn't the same as truth, but a list of three named problems is easier to check than a vague endorsement.
If you're visiting, notice the air in the weights room. That's a ten-second test.
Who It Doesn't Suit
If you're driving, the parking situation is a real friction and it's mentioned first for a reason.
If you want a pure iron gym, this is a municipal-style swim-and-fitness centre with a pool at its heart. The praise is mostly about the water.

FAQ
Is there parking?
Not immediately outside, according to a member. Plan for that if you're driving.
Is there a children's pool?
Yes, a small separate pool. A member notes children under five must be accompanied by an adult.
Is the equipment well maintained?
Accounts conflict. A member says it's good but "often broken and unmaintained," while another describes ten years of consistent quality.
What about ventilation?
One member says the air quality is quite bad and ventilation needs an upgrade. Nobody else on record addresses it.
