Staff Shortages and High Staffing Needs at the Outdoor Pool
This coming weekend, the extremely hot summer temperatures will coincide with a severe staff shortage at the city’s public swimming pools due to illness, leading to further restrictions.
Unfortunately, the Süd Indoor Swimming Pool will be closed for the entire weekend, from Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28. The Ulla-Klinger Hall will also be unavailable on Sunday, June 28. These restrictions at both facilities are necessary because the Hangeweiher outdoor pool will require additional staff to handle the expected very high number of visitors.
In addition, the ticket office closing time at the outdoor pool will be moved up to 3:00 p.m. from Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28. The pool will remain open until 8:30 p.m. However, even before 3:00 p.m., longer wait times or admission restrictions may occur if visitor numbers are high.
Up-to-date information on the swimming pools and their hours of operation: The City of Aachen’s Sports Department asks all visitors to check the City of Aachen’s sports portal at www.aachen.de/schwimmen before visiting any of the city’s indoor or outdoor swimming pools to ensure there are no restrictions or closures at the respective facilities.
