Outdoor swimming pools in the area are open. Most of them are heated and they usually stay open until September, if weather permits.
Public pools are generally divided into swimmers’ and non-swimmers’ pools, and they have extra pools for toddlers.
Most facilities have water slides, playgrounds and little restaurants or bistros.
Daily admission fees vary from €1 to €3. Season passes are also available.
***image1***Everyone visiting a public swimming pool has to obey specific rules:
• Don’t push anybody into the water.
• Avoid noise (in some facilities radios and stereo equipment are prohibited).
• Don’t pollute the water and don’t dirty any other areas of the facility.
• Don’t eat or smoke within the immediate swimming area.
• Children younger than six must be accompanied by an adult.
• Animals are not allowed in any facility.
• Life-guards are allowed to ban visitors from the facility if they break official regulations.
Common sense tells swimmers not to swim with a full stomach and not to go in the water when their bodies are overheated.
