Queuing or only with advance notice on the Internet: Every outdoor pool has a different concept in Corona times. One or the other develops its pitfalls.


Queuing or only with advance notice on the Internet: Every outdoor pool has a different concept in Corona times. One or the other develops its pitfalls.

  • The outdoor pools in the district have set different admission conditions due to Corona.
  • One swimming pool has completely switched to online ticket sales.
  • Filling out the forms with contact details leads to waiting times in some places.

District - Those who have made it to the pool will find good conditions - because of the distance rules there is more space in the pools and on the lawns than usual. That is why families in particular are drawn to the outdoor pools despite the extra effort. One or the other has already developed their tricks on how to make it easier.

Know when is the motto at the Germering outdoor pool . You cannot make a reservation there, and you have to register at the cash desk with your name and contact details. This takes a while! Result: If there is a large number of people, a queue forms. Many bathers - especially families with children - come in the morning. So if you only come in the afternoon, you have a good chance of saving yourself the annoying queuing.

Heidi Angler and Pia Harnisch are often in the bathroom with their children. The wait doesn't bother them much, although they had to stand in line for almost half an hour. Especially with small children, it is simply better in the outdoor pool than at the lake, despite the admission procedure - and currently also emptier.

Especially in the mornings, there is a queue at the entrance to the Germeringer outdoor pool. The reason for this is filling out the contact forms.

Suggestion: fill out the form with data beforehand

Andrea Goldner from Puchheim also comes with her children. She has a pool at home, but her sons Samuel and Tobias wanted to go to the outdoor pool, to go diving and jumping. Monika and Franz Mergel from Groebenzell have a suggestion for improvement. They went to Germering with their grandchildren Emma (4) and Charlotte (10). The thing with the snake cannot be changed. However, the two 69-year-olds saw systems in other bathrooms where visitors can already fill out their information sheets. That would shorten waiting times. So far, nobody had to be turned away in the Germeringer Bad in the Corona summer. The limit of permitted visitors has never been reached. 

It's different in the Maisach outdoor pool . There are 200 bathers allowed on the facility at the same time. Tickets must be purchased online in advance. The contact details are recorded. The cards are valid from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or from 3.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. "It can happen that you have to wait a bit at the respective entry times," says a clerk in the town hall.

Outdoor pool tickets are passed on under the hand

On the last heat weekend all tickets were sold out. However, some who got hold of one decided against visiting the bathroom. This led to a practice that one observes in the town hall with mixed feelings: The cards were offered for exchange, for example in social networks. The traceability of infection chains - the real purpose of personalized cards - suffers from this crucially.

In the Amperoase in Fürstenfeldbruck one has abandoned online sales again. "It led to double bookings," says Christian Kraus from the pool company. However, you can print out the contact form online in advance at this outdoor pool and fill it out at home. The waiting times would therefore hardly exceed five to ten minutes at the moment. The corona limit of 500 bathers has never been reached here.

Mammendorf: Entry blocked due to overcrowding

In the Mammendorf outdoor poolthe highest mark is regularly torn - although 800 bathers are allowed on the facility at the same time. If you set off there, you should definitely check the bathroom's homepage beforehand. Because if there is a threat of overcrowding, access is blocked for an hour, as Günter Sigl from the responsible district office explains. On Tuesday this was the case from about 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The blocking period was introduced to ease the situation at the cash register. Because when the capacity limit was reached, the employees had to wait until 20 guests had left the bathroom. Only then could they let in 20 people waiting.
