The difficulties for swimming enthusiasts often begin before the summer vacation, because many indoor pools close to maintenance work. In Schönebeck, the swimmers on top were closed on closed indoor pools, while the outdoor pools, especially the Aschersleben outdoor pool, shine like a ray of hope in the heat.

swimming as an important topic

The discouraging numbers of the DLRG show that many children cannot swim safely-a trend that has been reinforced by the Corona pandemic. sueddeutsche.de reports that…, according to assessments, has lost their access to swimming over recent years. This development not only has sporting, but also security implications, because in 2020 18 children drowned in Germany. Learning to swim is therefore more important than ever, which also underline the initiatives in the Salzland district.

An example of this is the swimming camp of the district sports association, which takes place in the "Saalperle" outdoor pool, where eight coaches introduce around 45 children into the basics of swimming. A strong commitment that illustrates the need for swimming courses and the need to learn early on.

celebrations and other activities

The celebrations on July 12 include not only the games and activities mentioned, but also the opportunity for children to get their own Neptune certificates and take part in a raffle. The main prize? A children's birthday in the ball house! The outdoor pool goals open on this day at 10 a.m. and the guests can look forward to an evening program with music and a grill and chill-for the little ones a cocktail bar will be available with non-alcoholic drinks.

Roswitha Salm, after 34 years as a district youth manager of the district fire brigade association, will remain active in another function by 2030. And so swimming in the Salzland district is strengthened by such initiatives and adult role models.

Finally, it can be said: The Aschersleben outdoor pool is a place of learning, joy and gathering, where swimming is not only a sporting ability, but also an important part of childhood. For everyone who has the opportunity to celebrate in the outdoor pool on July 19, 2025, it is clear: swimming is life, joy and health - and nobody should miss that!
