Outdoor pool season 2025 starts: Where there is already a lively opening!
In Germany, the outdoor pool season begins in full swing. Many outdoor pools open these days after the temperatures rise and the sun rays attract. Today, May 9, 2025, the season in Hanover starts in the Annabad, administered by the police sports club. The Bürgerpark outdoor pool is also launched in Braunschweig, and the Stadtbad Braunschweig invites you to a traditional bather. In addition, the outdoor pool in the district of Nienburg/Weser has opened since May 1st with free admission and food.
The outdoor pool already has 1,200 visitors on the opening day. The admission prices there are 5 euros for adults, 2.50 euros for children and 10 euros for families. The outdoor parking lot of the outdoor pool often lists license plates from Bremen, Hanover and Hamburg, which indicates a national popularity. Currently 100 to 200 guests move into the cool water every day, especially regular guests and early swimmers.
price increases in Bavaria
In contrast, many outdoor pools in Bavaria start with increased admission prices. Due to increased energy and personnel costs, visitors have to dig deeper into their pockets. A survey by the German Press Agency shows that the average admission price for adults rose from EUR 3.23 in 2022 to around 4 euros in 2023. In cities such as Munich, Ingolstadt, Bayreuth and Würzburg, the prices have been raised, while other cities such as Nuremberg, Augsburg, Regensburg and Hof were able to keep their prizes stable.In Munich, for example, the admission price for adults is increased by 30 cents to 6 euros. The increase is part of the efforts to cover the costs of energy -intensive outdoor pool use. Unheated outdoor pools that could serve as a cheap alternative prove to be less attractive to guests. Experts agree that unheated pools are not trendy because they are not very well received at cool temperatures.
environmental measures and challenges
In some cities, photovoltaic systems are installed to reduce energy costs. Bayreuth has put such a system into operation, which delivers electricity on sunny days. However, the challenge remains that the outdoor pool companies are heavily dependent on municipal grants in order to cover the costs incurred. The high energy use is the focus of the discussion about the future financing and attractiveness of these facilities.
On May 1st, outdoor pools such as the Schyrenbad in Munich and the Westbad in Nuremberg opened in Bavaria. In the coming days, outdoor pools in other cities will also begin, although many in East Frisia will follow a little later. A positive trend is that despite the price increases, the demand for visits to outdoor swimming pools remains high, similar to how we can observe it in the outdoor pool, which also records visitors of up to 200 a day after the opening day. The outdoor pool season promises both challenges and joy in fresh air this year.
