Vienna's outdoor pools ready for a swimming boom and heat protection in summer!

The summer weather has brought outdoor pools back to the fore in Vienna. Year after year, the anticipation of the bathing season continues unabated. But what does the balance sheet say this year? Loud meinkreis.at There was a mixed start to the season, which opened in May 2023. What is noteworthy, however, is that the Vienna baths have since recorded over 807,000 bathers, which represents an increase of 24% compared to the previous year.

Citizens' interest was rather muted at the beginning, but as the weather improves, more and more Viennese and tourists are drawn to the city's outdoor pools. Jürgen Czernohorszky, the climate and pool councilor, emphasizes the importance of outdoor pools as heat protection partners, especially for children and young people.

Attractive entry prices for everyone

A big advantage of Vienna's outdoor pools is the affordable entrance fees. The price for adults is 7.60 euros, while children up to 6 years old can swim for free. For children between 7 and 14 years old, entry costs only 2.60 euros. Young people between the ages of 15 and 18 pay 4.30 euros, and with a bonus card that includes 10 entries plus 3 free, visits for children between 7 and 14 years only cost 2 euros per visit.

The city has a total of 30 outdoor swimming pool locations that are ideally prepared for the upcoming swimming boom. In addition to the swimming pools, the facilities offer spacious green areas, shady places to relax and numerous sports facilities such as football and volleyball courts and water playgrounds. In addition, at many locations you will find an attractive animation and cultural program that provides entertainment.

Safety is the top priority

An important issue, especially in times when usage is increasing, are security measures. As part of the “First Responder” program, staff are trained in dealing with conflict and harassment. In addition, the Vienna police cooperate closely with the outdoor pools to increase the safety of bathers wien.orf.at reported.
