The heinous attacks occurred last Sunday at the Barbarossabad swimming pool.
Several girls are said to have reported to pool staff that they had been assaulted by a group of men in the whirlpool area.
Two of the men arrested are reportedly related.
Criminal charges have since been filed against all of the suspects, who have also been banned from the pool.
Five young girls initially came forward to report the incidents, but as the assaults became public knowledge, more bravely came forward.
The victims also testified that they had been sexually harassed.
A total of eight girls aged just 11 to 16 were victims of sexual assault at the pool.
It currently cannot be ruled out that other girls or women were affected, reports claim.

Repeat offender told 'carrying a knife is unacceptable' as he is jailed
A sheriff said: 'It can often lead to catastrophic harm and will not be tolerated.' A repeat offender has been jailed for 22 months after a sheriff warned that knife-carrying 'won't be tolerated'. Jay Smith, 31, of Duneaton Wynd, Larkhall, claimed he'd taken a blade from a pal who was threatening to self-harm. But he was sentenced at Hamilton Sheriff Court this week after admitting unlawful possession of a bladed item in McNeil Street, Larkhall, on April 20 last year. The court heard police officers went to the area after reports of a man acting suspiciously. Scott O'Connor, prosecuting, said: 'They observed the accused who appeared to be unsteady on his feet. 'He was detained for a search and disclosed to the officers that he had a knife. This was found in his jacket pocket.' Defence agent Jackson Bateman said doing a friend a favour had got him into trouble. Mr Bateman told the court: 'They were in a house and his friend threatened to self-harm. 'There was an argument and my client took the knife from him. He accepts he should then have put it in a bin instead of holding on to it.' Smith has addiction issues and it was suggested social work supervision could help him. But Sheriff John Speir told him: 'This is your third conviction for carrying a knife and social work say you are unsuitable for a community-based disposal. 'Previously you were given an eight-month electronic tagging order, which you breached, so I consider the only appropriate sentence is custody. 'Carrying a knife is unacceptable, particularly in this jurisdiction where there have been a number of recent attacks. 'It can often lead to catastrophic harm and will not be tolerated.'
