The days are warmer again, the Whitsun holidays and the summer in front of the door. While most of the shops have already fixed dates for the re-opening, there are the swimming pools in the district still don't have plans, whether, and when, in the swimming season can be started.

County – Christopher Ruthner, managing Director of Stadtwerke Erding, shows the current situation with great understanding. "It is logical that bathrooms a pleasure to have as a leisure not take precedence over other economic Establishments. The first step way back in order,“ he says.

In the meantime, the Wet, the water rats back in the cool, takes care of the staff with various maintenance and renovation work to the plant of the Erdinger outdoor swimming pool. For example it can be renewed tiles, minor damage fixed and the pool cleaned.

Similarly, it looks in the municipal swimming pool Dorfen. "The pool will be expertly maintained," says Gudrun Gersbach, spokesperson for the city of Dorfen. "Regardless of the time of the commissioning, this requires a certain lead time, which is always required. For example, sanitary inspections are in addition to the head to allow the water to perform.“ She adds that the staff currently working in the outdoor pool, repair and maintenance lead and the maintenance of the plant care. An Opening at the beginning of June Gersbach exclude on the basis of the above-listed lead times.

a Lot of requests in Taufkirchen

The Waldbad Taufkirchen will also get a lot of requests, when an Opening was. According to the Facebook page of the bath is confident to be able to may, in June, open. However, this was only a speculation, because "the decision on the day of X is not known to the operator, but at the Federal and state government". The bathroom is currently in "Standby-mode": "The forest pool within eight days, ready for public use," it says more on the page.

All look at the Virus-development

According to Ruthner, everything is dependent on the development of the situation. "I can't imagine that the hygiene concepts, which are designed to provide the inlet for absolutely everyone," he estimates. Normally the swimming pool in Erding recorded in the summer season from mid-may to September, between 80 000 and 100 000 visitors. "That would be in the hot summer days up to three thousand people a day, which would closely fit each other."

Despite all the uncertainties, it appears that the state government is likely to announce next week how it goes. Expected to be on 30. May should be able to open some of the bathrooms – the Spa will not be there but.
