Summer swimming: Extended pool hours and new entry prices

As summer temperatures rise, public swimming pools across the Kiel region are adjusting their hours to accommodate the summer holidays, with some also implementing minor price changes.

In Kiel, the Sommerbad Katzheide will extend its operating hours significantly once the summer holidays begin. Currently open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. until the holidays, it will shift to longer hours. From Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, it will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. On Wednesdays and Fridays, hours will be 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Accompanying these extended hours, entry prices have increased slightly, with children's tickets now costing 2.50 Euros (up from 2 Euros) and adult tickets priced at 4.50 Euros (up from 3.50 Euros).

Meanwhile, in Lübeck, the Freibad Schlutup will operate daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the main summer holiday season.

The Freibad Moisling in Lübeck will also open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the holidays, with Mondays being a rest day. The operators confirmed that entry prices at both Lübeck pools will stay the same.
