Outdoor pool season 2025: Cleaning and preparation for the big opening day!

In the coming weeks, many outdoor pools in Germany prepare their opening after the winter break. So also the outdoor pool in Coesfeld, where the two employees Robin Brücks and André Schmeing are made with high -pressure cleaners and scrubbing for the seasonal fit. Like Az Online , cleaning includes important areas such as the stainless steel pool, the paths around the pools and the shower rooms. The removed fittings must be reinstalled by May 9th so that the system can be put into operation in good time for the first bathers.

The effort is considerable: after the re filling of the pools, the circulation follows, supplemented by the commissioning of the filter system and the heating system. In addition, safety checks of the slides, heating systems and chlorine systems take place before the season. An external service provider will carry out a water quality test two weeks before the opening. Despite the conscientious preparations, there are no new offers or attractions this season. In the past year, however, investments in a new climbing and bouldering area were made, including a seven meter high climbing tower, which was set up at the indoor swimming pool in August. Guests can borrow beach volley balls, table tennis rackets and footballs free of charge.

The challenge during and after corona

The situation in German outdoor pools has changed significantly since Corona pandemic. As noted on Kommunal , the opening of the first baths is allowed after weeks of closure under strict editions. Over 80 % of the population consider swimming pools indispensable because they play an important role in health, sport and community life.

The hygiene measures and rules of conduct for guests and employees remain essential. There are risks partly in changing areas, queues and on lawn. Baths operators demand clear criteria for opening, with financial aspects playing a significant role. The operation of outdoor pools is often a subsidy business, with the cost recovery levels for outdoor pools being only 27.2 %. This emphasizes the need for financial support from the federal and state governments to improve the operating conditions and to secure the outdoor pool season.
