Season opening celebrated despite cool temperatures
The Jugenheim outdoor swimming pool kicked off the new season on Ascension Day with the traditional first jump into the water.
The first bathers were welcomed by Mayor Birgit Kannegießer and the chairman of the Jugenheim swimming pool association, Jürgen Pfliegensdörfer.
Traditional jump into the water
After the greetings, the participants changed into swimwear despite the cool outside temperatures and opened the season with the traditional jump into the water.
This year, the Protestant pastor Miriam Fleischhacker also participated.
Around 50 swimmers already used the opening day for the first laps of the season.
Outdoor swimming pool open until September
The outdoor swimming pool season runs from May 14th to September 13th.
The swimming pool is open Monday to Friday from 7 am to 8 pm and on weekends and public holidays from 8 am to 8 pm.
Swimming badge day and club anniversary planned
Several special events are also planned for the season.
On June 17th, the pool management, the swimming pool association and the DLRG Pfungstadt plan to jointly organize a swimming badge day.
Just a few days later, on June 20th, the swimming pool association celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Furthermore, the first swimming lessons have already started. Information on other courses is available from the Jugenheim swimming pool association.
