Open-air swimming season concludes at Hittfelder swimming pool on September 1st
The Hittfeld Indoor Pool is set to reopen its doors to the public on Monday, September 2nd, following a summer break. This news comes as the German Swimming Pool Association e.V. has reported an increase in parental supervision lapses in swimming pools across the country. However, specific reports about the Hittfeld outdoor pool or its response to such an issue could not be found.
As a reminder, swimming safety is of utmost importance, especially when children are in pools. Authoritative bodies like the American Red Cross emphasise the significance of parental supervision in designated areas supervised by lifeguards. This underscores the need for vigilance to prevent accidents.
While the Hittfeld outdoor pool may follow municipal or association guidelines for safety, no explicit statements regarding parental supervision lapses were found in the current search results. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to check the direct websites of the German Swimming Pool Association or the Hittfeld outdoor pool facility, or to contact them directly.
Meanwhile, the municipality of Seevetal, as the operator of the Hittfeld Swimming Pool, is drawing attention to potential dangers for children in a swimming pool through appropriate signs. Anke Wahne from the Baths and Lakes Administration of the municipality of Seevetal also suggests visiting the outdoor pool even on cloudy days, as the outdoor pool at Hittfeld is usually less crowded on such days.
It's worth noting that the Over Indoor Pool at Hittfeld is already open at usual times, but will be closed on Friday, August 23rd, due to a staff shortage. The Hittfeld Swimming Pool will be open until Sunday, September 1st.
Stay safe and enjoy your swim!
