The weather is still not outstandingly nice, but Saxony's outdoor pools are starting the season anyway. The Leipzig sports pools are inviting visitors to take their first dip in the Schreberbad on Monday. In Dresden, the Georg-Arnhold-Bad and the Kombibad Prohlis as well as two bathing spots will officially open on Wednesday. However, if you want to swim outdoors, you have to be able to withstand the cold. The water is still not particularly warm.
"The outdoor pools are not heated. That means it's only as warm as it is outside - it's still a bit chilly," said Katja Gläß, spokeswoman for Sportbäder Leipzig. "But we're ready to go. Every year in May, the weather still has to pick up speed." There are also numerous regular guests who are not put off by the cooler temperatures. Some even come in wetsuits to swim in the outdoor pool.
