Neustadt outdoor pool season 2025: record visits and satisfied guests!

The 2025 outdoor pool season in Neustadt can be considered a complete success. The Neustadt public utility company is satisfied with the number of visitors, which has skyrocketed in particular due to the closure of a neighboring swimming pool. At the Stadionbad Neustadt, which opened its doors on May 29th, 2025, the operators welcomed a whopping 73,217 bathers by the end of the season on September 7th. The other outdoor pools in the region were also able to point to positive figures: the Hambach outdoor pool attracted 44,380 visitors, while 26,685 swimmers were counted in the Mußbach outdoor pool. The Duttweiler outdoor pool had a good circulation of 11,043 guests and promised a family atmosphere, which became even more attractive at events.

The commitment of the support association at the Hambach outdoor pool was particularly impressive, as they contributed over 2,000 voluntary hours to make the season an experience. Rhine Palatinate reports that despite the weather-related decline in visitors in July, no serious incident was reported at the pools. Markus Schuler, head of department, was positive about how the season went and confirmed that the technology worked smoothly. Only the start of the children's paddling pool in the Hambach outdoor pool was slightly delayed.

A new highlight for all bathers

A special highlight this season was the introduction of a disabled shower and a barrier-free toilet in the stadium bathroom, which improved accessibility with a good touch. There was also high demand for swimming courses, which is why an additional course instructor was hired. Due to the changing leisure behavior, which shows how popular swimming is among all age groups, there is a positive development in interest in swimming opportunities in Neustadt. Statista agrees that the skill of swimming, which has always been considered one of the healthiest sports, should be learned as early as possible.

The outdoor pools are particularly popular in summer because they not only offer refreshment, but also represent a meeting place. The static figures from the local outdoor pools reflect that a large part of the population enjoys the summer days by the water. Stadtwerke Neustadt wants to continue the offer next year without making any serious changes.

A look ahead

The winter season in the stadium pool will begin on October 1, 2025 with the opening of an air dome, which will provide additional swimming opportunities. SW Neustadt and the municipal utilities wish all bathers a refreshing experience and look forward to the coming summer and the next outdoor pool season.

Overall, it can be said that the summer of 2025 in Neustadt offered a roof over the heads of both visitors and operators - literally like water over the swimmers.
