Summer at Helios: The pool is open; day visitors are welcome

Summer has finally begun at Athena Helios, and we have some great news to share:the pool is open!

After months of preparations, repairs, and a lot of volunteer work, we achieved our goal. On June 20, the pool officially opened for a summer full of relaxation, fun, and a chance to cool off.

The pool is open

 

It was quite a challenge. The winter had taken its toll, heavy rain created extra work, and technical issues had to be resolved. Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers and professionals, both the main pool and the children’s pool were thoroughly refurbished.

Starting now, people of all ages can once again enjoy wonderful afternoons of swimming at Helios.

The current hours of operation are daily from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

These hours are still somewhat dependent on the availability of enough volunteers trained in first aid. If we can count on some extra helping hands, we may be able to extend our hours of operation.

 

Will you help out? First aid volunteers wanted

 

For safety reasons, the pool may only be open when there are enough people on site who are trained in first aid.

Do you have a valid first aid certificate or have you completed a first aid course? If so, we’d love to hear from you. With just a little effort, you can help make the pool accessible to everyone more often and for longer periods of time.

Would you like to earn a first aid certificate so you can keep the pool open more often?

Day Visitors Welcome! Come experience the atmosphere at Athena Helios

A sunny afternoon by the pool, a drink on the patio, a casual chat with friends, a sauna session, or a delicious plate of spaghetti in good company…

That's summer at Athena Helios.

 

Summer here feels familiar, yet different every time. Old friends reunite, and new friendships form naturally. There are planned activities, but just as often, spontaneous moments over drinks create the fondest memories.

 

Whether you want to relax for a few hours or enjoy a full day here, you're more than welcome.
