The future of swimming pools in Glinde: Start new building and hot discussions!
In Glinde, the teaching pool is currently not usable, which is a real annoyance for the local community. In a meeting of the cultural committee, an application by the Greens, which provides for the demolition of the existing pool, is now coordinated by a new building at the same location. The goal is to complete the new swimming area within one year. The reason for the closure is a defective heating system that not only led to an uncomfortably low water temperature of 19.8 degrees, but also severely restricts the activities of the TSV Glinde, the adult education center and physical education. Since glinde only has this one teaching pool, the alternative options are zero, which makes the situation particularly precarious.
As reports [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/heizin-in-glinde-kaputt Discussion-Ueber-neubau- von- Lehrschwimmenbionnorderstedtnews-898.html), the heating system is getting on the age of time and it is difficult to find suitable spare parts. A new boiler must be installed, whereby the requirements of the building energy law must be taken into account. When the repairs will be completed remains (at least until now) unclear.
Investments in swimming pools
The fate of Glinde is not an isolated case. Similar efforts are also available in other regions. In Farmsen, the first ramming was recently celebrated for the construction of a new teaching swimming pool, such as hamburg.de. This new teaching pool, which is to be completed in the next two years, should not only provide high -quality swimming training, but also act as a social infrastructure in the region. With costs of around 21 million euros, the construction is supported by various public funds, including funding from the federal program "Refurbishment of local facilities".
No region can be left behind when it comes to swimming lessons for children and adolescents. The Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior and Sport has therefore initiated a sports facility investment program with a volume of 25 million euros, which aims to modernize the infrastructure for swimming lessons in the municipalities. The aim of this program is that every child in Lower Saxony has the opportunity to learn to swim. According to niedersachsen.de can be able to Municipalities receive up to 80 percent of the costs, particularly financially weak communities benefit here. By June 30, over 97 applications with a total volume of around 126.4 million euros had been received.
With regard to the need to secure swimming lessons for the upcoming generation, the situation in Glinde makes you take notice. It remains to be seen whether the Greens' application can bring about a quick solution today and when the new opportunities for swimming training in Glinde are available again.
