Safety and swimming rules
Do you have any questions before your visit?
Do you have any questions about opening hours, prices or activities? Fill out the form below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Note
You must wash without your swimsuit before you can enter the pools. If you do not wash your hair, you can use a shower cap.
An unwashed bather pollutes the pool water 25 times more than a clean bather.
If you follow the rules for swimming, you help reduce the consumption of chlorine, and when we use less chlorine, we get a better environment in the swimming pool.
Photo rules
- Use of mobile phones, PCs and Pads is not permitted in changing and shower facilities.
- Use of photo or video cameras at the pools is only permitted with permission from the lifeguard
Rules for bathing
- If you have an infectious disease, you must not bathe. This may include diarrhea, a cold, sore throat, ear infection, skin inflammation or jaundice (hepatitis A) during the infectious phase.
- If you have foot warts or athlete’s foot, you may bathe if you are undergoing medical treatment for it.
- All non-clean children must bathe with a diaper under tight-fitting baby bathing suits with a minimum of 3 cm wide elastic band at the waist and around the thighs, to best avoid a leak in the event of an accident.
- Other people who cannot hold their stool or urine are not allowed to bathe without agreement with the staff.
- Go to the toilet first and then get in the shower.
- The entire body, excluding swimwear, must be soaped and rinsed off. Cream, make-up, hairspray and the like must be removed before bathing.
- After visiting the toilet, sauna and steam room, you must wash again.
- The swimwear must be clean.
- Underwear under swimwear is not permitted.
- Outdoor footwear may only be used outside the barefoot area.
- If there is feces in the water, the pool must be left immediately and a lifeguard must be called.
- Do not keep damp swimwear on for a long time after your stay.
- The stay should end with a shower.
Security
Think before you go in the water
Consideration
It’s the thoughtfulness that counts.
Playing with water is never completely safe, so it doesn’t hurt to think about it. For example, if you’re not a very good swimmer, never bathe alone.
If you have children with you, keep an eye on them and teach them to behave with consideration for themselves and others.
When you are on the slide or on the seesaw, it is important that you look out for yourself and others. Swim forward and out to the side after the jump and do not “park” in the slide, where all “traffic” is of course one-way.
If you suffer from epilepsy or are at risk of feeling unwell, never bathe alone.
Security
We are confident in safety
Although we do not compromise on safety, you should still think twice. You are responsible for your own safety and that of your children.
Training
All our lifeguards have a professional lifeguard certification that is renewed every year. All lifeguards undergo a first aid course with external cardiac massage every year.
Staffing
We usually have the following staffing:
Weekdays: 3 lifeguards
On weekends: 4 lifeguards
During school holidays, we are staffed with 4 lifeguards on weekdays and weekends for part of the day.
NOTE.
Lifeguards circulate around the halls, so there may be periods when the individual pools are not supervised.
Alarm
Sound the alarm
Alarm buttons have been installed in several places in the Danmark Swimming Stadium, all marked in red.
It is a good idea to check where in the room the alarm button is located so that you can react quickly if an accident occurs.
But remember, only use the alarm button in case of imminent danger to life. In all other cases, contact the staff who are constantly circulating around the hall.
Water quality
We do it ourselves too
We take samples of the water ourselves several times a day, although this is largely unnecessary. The water is continuously cleaned by our modern purification plant. The plant has 3 types of filters; coarse filters, sand filters and carbon filters, which automatically dose chlorine and acid when necessary.
We’re getting to the bottom of it.
We are thorough and get to the bottom of things – the pools are vacuumed several times a week.
The water is clean, it’s clear.
In fact, we have some of the cleanest bathing water in Denmark. The water in the Swimming Stadium Denmark is tested regularly.
We are tested both regularly and unannounced.
I guess only top athletes are tested more than our water quality. MILANA | ALS Environmental takes samples once a month, and Esbjerg Municipality comes on unannounced visits several times a year.
