= Security issues

=
After an increase of sexual harassment, the direction chose to institute gender segregated jacuzzi in 2016. That measure was found insufficient to stop the incidents as a group of boys harassed girls in the adventure bath and therefore extra security guards were hired and security cameras were installed. The sales of the annual memberships decreased 11% between February 2015 and February 2016. The local municipality stated that "the debate about sexual harassment at the premises", rather than the harassment itself, had decreased sales.
In 2016, reports of possible sexual abuse in pools used by both men and women prompted officials at the Eriksdalsbadet to separate the pools by gender on certain occasions, with one for women and one for men. According to unit manager Sara Franzén Shilwan, Eriksdalsbadet takes all reports of abuse seriously, and "all incidents are reported to the police."
