Renovation technical installation outdoor pool at Camping Athena: Back Open in April

After thirty years, it is time for a thorough renovation of the technical installation of the outdoor swimming pool at Camping Athena in Ossendrecht. This renovation is necessary to better comply with the new regulations around swimming water that will be in force in the Netherlands from 2025.

Under the new Environment Act and the Living Environment Activities Decree (Bal), swimming pools must meet higher standards for water quality, safety and incident management. For example, the pH level of the water will be more strictly regulated and swimming pools will have to be responsible for closing the pool in case of standard deviations.

One important change is the mandatory risk analysis and preparation of a management plan for water quality, legionella prevention and hygiene. The rules also call for regular incident recording and reporting of unusual occurrences. As a swimming pool operator, you must ensure not only water management, but also frequent testing and reporting of water quality.

To comply with these stricter regulations, it was decided to completely overhaul the pool's technical installation. Filters, pumps and control systems will be replaced and improved so that in the future the pool can meet the legal requirements without problems and the water quality remains at top level

The renovation is now underway, and although the pool is temporarily closed, we expect the new facility to be fully operational during April. Then our guests will again be able to take a refreshing dip in the beautifully renovated pool!

Our wellness will remain open during the works.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
