Fun & games around the cool water: public pool festival in Geisweid
On the 19th of July 2025, the wait was over: Mayor Steffen Mues opened the outdoor pool party at the heated outdoor pool in Geisweid at 1 p.m. Until 7 p.m., the approximately 2,000 visitors enjoyed a colourful programme with lots of activities, including an outdoor pool rally, introductory diving courses, goal wall shooting, aqua fitness and many other highlights.
In cooperation with the sports and swimming pool department of the city of Siegen, Stadtmarketing Siegen had put together a big ‘pool party’ with lots of activities in the water and on land. The younger guests were able to discover the outdoor pool on their own during the rally and let off steam with fun water games.
Anyone who had always wanted to try diving could learn how it works in introductory diving courses led by professionals from the Siegerland Diving and Research Association and the Octopus Diving Club. In addition to aqua fitness and goal wall shooting, there was of course plenty of food and drink on offer: the kiosk sold cold and hot snacks, ice cream and drinks, and the Förderverein Freibad Geisweid e.V. served fresh waffles.
