All those who are not drawn to faraway places this summer can also get into the holiday mood at home. Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) has renovated and completely redesigned the ageing exterior façade of the outdoor pool in the district of Lützellinden. "The exterior wall had not only become unsightly, it also had numerous defects in the plaster. Renovation was unavoidable," explains Uwe Volbrecht, Head of Swimming Pools at SWG. "And while we were at it, we also wanted to give the façade a really nice makeover."
Dominic Proch, head pool attendant at the Lützellinden outdoor pool, came up with the idea of painting the wall and also suggested the motif. Now palm trees, the beach and the sea greet visitors from afar.
Longer opening hours in very good weather
In the outdoor pool, a 25-metre pool and a baby pool protected by an awning provide fun for young and old alike. And sports enthusiasts can let off steam on the beach volleyball court.
The outdoor pool in Giessen's Lützellinden district is open daily from 1 pm to 7 pm - and even from 10 am to 8 pm in summer temperatures of more than 25 degrees. Information on the opening times and prices of the SWG pools can be found on 0641 708-1411 and on the website of Stadtwerke Gießen at www.stadtwerke-giessen.de/baeder
