The outdoor swimming pool opens on May 14th with the traditional first jump
The Jugenheim outdoor swimming pool officially opens for the new season on Thursday, May 14, 2026. Traditionally, Mayor Birgit Kannegießer and the chairman of the swimming pool association, Jürgen Pfliegensdörfer, will open the season with the first jump into the water together.
Coffee and pretzels for early swimmers
The outdoor swimming pool opens to visitors at 8 a.m. Early morning swimmers can also enjoy coffee and pretzels on opening day.
New solution for the outdoor swimming pool management
One challenge before the start of the season was finding a new manager for the outdoor swimming pool. As the municipality announced, Jürgen Hoffman and his company Aqua-Power will take over the management of the pool as an external service provider. The company has been supporting the pool in the technical area for many years and will also be responsible for the kiosk operation in the future.
The kiosk opens daily from 10 am and offers drinks, sweets and small meals.
Opening hours and season ticket sales
The opening hours remain unchanged:
- Monday to Friday: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m
- Weekends and public holidays: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m
Season tickets go on sale on May 7th. The outdoor pool ticket office will be open on the following days:
- Thursday, May 7, and Friday, May 8: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m
- Monday, May 11th, to Wednesday, May 13th: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily
The outdoor swimming pool season runs until September 13, 2026.
Swimming badge day planned
The pool management, swimming pool association and the DLRG Pfungstadt are planning another joint swimming badge day for Wednesday, June 17th.
