Outdoor pool season starts in Jena on May 1

All preparations are going according to plan and the Jena swimming pool team is full of anticipation - it's time to go! Right on time on May 1st, the Jena Swimming and Leisure Society will start the outdoor pool season again. The swimming pool opens its gates at exactly 10 am. Then the popular outdoor pool at Schleichersee will once again become an oasis for those seeking relaxation, a paradise for water lovers and a meeting place for ambitious sportsmen and women. 

So that bathers can enjoy plenty of outdoor fun during the hot summer months, the swimming pool will once again be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer months this year.

All opening times:

• In May from 10 am to 6 pm
• in June, July and August from 9 am to 8 pm
• in September from 10 am to 6 pm

As in the Südbad, the season at the beach bar „Strandschleicher“ starts on Wednesday, May 1. Beach volleyball courts can be reserved from the start of the season by calling 0151 163527 21.
