Seaside Beach – Swim-in
Swimming season officially opens at Baldeneysee – after almost 40 long years without official permission to swim, the drought is finally over starting tomorrow, May 23, 2017. At precisely 3 p.m., Essen's Mayor Thomas Kufen will officially open the natural swimming pool at Baldeneysee. Seaside Beach Baldeney. With an outside temperature of 22 degrees Celsius forecast, cooling off is likely to be less of a priority. Much more importantly, swimming in the two recently completed pools is now finally possible again, thanks to good water quality.
Early warning system measures water quality
Swimming is permitted primarily depending on the weather, specifically rain. Rain can increase the number of E. coli bacteria in the lake water. In such cases, swimming in Baldeneysee will be prohibited for health reasons. A sign at the entrance to Seaside Beach and Baldeney will indicate whether swimming is allowed or not.
Baldeneysee.Ruhr will definitely be there for the first swim in the Baldeneysee.
