Giessen's Ringallee outdoor pool opened for the last time this year on Sunday, 13 September. The outdoor pools in Lützellinden and Kleinlinden closed their doors a week earlier.
The Ringallee outdoor pool was once again very popular in the 2009 outdoor pool season. From May to the beginning of September, a total of 97,500 visitors came to the outdoor pool on 121 opening days. The busiest month was August with 40,164 visitors. Compared to 2008, the number of visitors increased by a total of 4,141.
From the point of view of Stadtwerke Gießen AG, the 2009 outdoor pool season was thoroughly positive. Despite an average summer, SWG recorded more bathers in all outdoor pools than in the previous year.
Swimmers who want to swim their lengths can now switch to the Ringallee indoor pool or the Westbad. From Sunday, 20 September 2009, the Ringallee indoor pool will be open again on Sundays from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
