Swimming Pools in Krakow
Krakow
can boast two public open-air swimming pools and an assortment
of indoor swimming baths. The latter belong to
sport clubs, municipal agencies, Krakow’s
institutions of
higher education, and other organizations. Also
swimming holes in
Krakow hotels
are usually available to the general public. Plus there is a
water park in Krakow (Park Wodny) with water chutes and other
wet attractions.
Bathing in Krakow in summer
Open-air swimming-pools in Krakow are usually available from
June to September. Conversely, the indoor swimming pools often
close for summer.
Since the city’s swimming baths are overcrowded when the heat
waves strike, the locals in landlocked Krakow preferably
weather them on a lakeside. There is a supervised
lakeshore bathing beach with lifeguards within the city limits
called Zalew Bagry and another
in Przylasek Rusiecki area. But most popular is an artificial
lake at Kryspinow just west of the city border. Yet actually
people swarm to any swimmable water hole, and many even dare to
take a dip in places where bathing is explicitly banned.
Note: Rivers in Krakow, including Wisla, are unsuitable for
swimming.
Swimming pool is ‘basen’ in Polish.
