Get ready to dive in and beat the heat because it's pool party time in Hamburg! That's right, the Hanseatic city's open-air pools will be splashin' open their gates this Thursday! The last swimming hole to join the fun will be the Sommerfreibad Marienhöhe in Süldorf on Friday, ensuring that over the weekend, you can cool off and catch some rays all across the city!
According to meteorological mavens at the German Weather Service, we're in for scorching hot summer days ahead. The mercury is set to rise up to a sweltering 29 degrees Celsius on Friday!
The Kaifubad and the Naturbad Stadtparksee have already jumped into the action since late May, and the rest of the pools will now join in on the daily water games from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. However, keep in mind that temporary closures might occur due to staffing shortages. Pools in Osdorfer Born and Neugraben will be off-limits on Mondays and Tuesdays, while Bad Marienhöhe will be closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Now, let's talk about keeping those little swimmers safe! The folks at Bäderland have urged responsible adults to keep a watchful eye on their young ones. Pool safety is paramount, and the consequences of neglecting it can be dire – tragically resulting in the removal of both children and accompanying adults from the pool.
As the summer sunshine draws more and more swimmers to the pools, it's essential to remember that many people visiting pools may not be strong swimmers or possess swimming skills at all. They are simply seeking a refreshing escape from the summer heat.
In collaboration with Asklepios clinics, free sunscreen with a light protection factor of 50 will be available at multiple locations this year. So, grab your swimsuits, sunscreen, and slide into a fun-filled weekend at Hamburg's open-air pools!
A few water-safety guidelines that may come in handy:
- Constant Adult Supervision: Ensure that little ones are always within arm’s reach of an adult near or in the water. This helps prevent accidents and ensures immediate intervention in case of emergencies.
- Swim Lessons: Encourage kids to enroll in swim lessons and learn basic swimming skills and strokes, which significantly reduces the risk of accidents in water.
- Pool Barriers: Ensure that pools in private areas have adequate barriers to prevent accidental entry by children.
- Water Safety Gear: Utilize appropriate flotation devices for children who are not confident swimmers.
- Emergency Preparedness: Know what to do in case of a water emergency, and have an emergency plan in place.
