Round pools germany

Barely a week into the summer vacation season and open-air swimming pools in Germany are already being turned into political footballs. After brawls involving migrants and other incidents, authorities have stepped up security at some of the country’s pools and introduced ID checks and other restrictions for entry. They are also making it easier to bar young people from entering pools unless they are in the company of adults. Pool kaufen

The measures come in the wake of a series of violent incidents in the city of Berlin involving young people from the country’s migrant population and are aimed at keeping them away from trouble spots. It is an approach that echoes the strategy of far-right anti-immigrant party Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has made increasing numbers of migrants the target of its attacks on civil liberties, including freedom of speech and religion.

In the past, AfD has been successful in bringing migrants’ rights issues to the forefront of the political landscape by focusing on their perceived lack of integration into German society. This stance has become a key part of the party’s campaign ahead of national elections set for September and October this year.

At a pool in the town of Terneuzen, near the border with Belgium, authorities have introduced compulsory ID checks and barred swimmers from outside the local area. They are also allowing staff to use body cams when enforcing rules on the water. The aim is to reduce the number of brawls, which are usually triggered by the tension between migrant groups.

For example, one rule in some pools is that swimmers must shower before entering the water to wash off dirt and chemicals. The idea is that this helps prevent swimmers from contaminating the pool with bacteria from their clothes. In addition, many Germans are very strict about observing pool etiquette. They are expected to swim clockwise and to keep up with the lane leader.

This approach has sparked some criticism from human rights and immigrant groups, who argue that the rules discriminate against non-Germans and are used as a means to stigmatize migrant communities. Nurcan Civelek, a mediator of Turkish background with the refugee group Amnesty International, says that it’s important for everyone to know the rules of the game and how they are enforced, especially in a public place such as a pool.

In an attempt to avoid a similar scenario in the future, she recommends investing in conflict management training for pool staff so they can respond quickly and effectively in situations where they see people breaking the rules. She also thinks it would be a good idea to allow refugees to take swimming lessons in the pool to get them familiar with the rules of the game and understand why they need to follow certain etiquette.

The Stadtbad Schoneberg “Hans Rosenthal” (Schoneberg) was recently renovated and brought into the 21st century. It now boasts a large water slide, a small pool for lap swimming, a kids’ pool, and even a sauna.
