For the third time, the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer is inviting dogs to swim in the Kevelaer outdoor pool together with the swimming club. On Sunday, September 22, the four-legged friends can let off steam in the cool water from 10 am to 4 pm. Admission for the furry friends is 4 euros, while owners, masters and dog fans who would like to watch pay 2 euros
Whether in the swimmers' or non-swimmers' pool - the dogs have a free choice and can romp and splash around in the water as well as around the pools. This time, masters and mistresses stay at the edge of the pool, but can cheer on their four-legged friends and play with them. The event is sponsored by the local pet food manufacturer MERA supported. As in previous years, the kiosk in the outdoor pool will be open so that all guests can enjoy snacks and refreshing drinks.
Anyone wishing to take part in the dog swim in the Kevelaer outdoor pool must remember to bring their vaccination card and proof of existing dog liability insurance. Upon entry, guests recognize the applicable dog and owner bathing regulations.
Visitors do not have to worry about the chlorine content in the water: After the end of the season on Sunday, September 15, no more fresh chlorine will be added. Swimming is therefore safe for barking bathers. The two-legged friends don't have to worry about the water quality either, as the water in the pools will be completely drained before the next outdoor pool season and, as every year, a thorough cleaning will be carried out. So nothing stands in the way of carefree swimming fun next year.
