Swimming in the Netherlands<\/strong> moved a step closer to returning to normal after it was announced that indoor pools can open again beginning Monday, May 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outdoor pools reopened on April 29 for young people and now people can swim indoors once again as long as strict protocols are observed.<\/p>\n

This includes social distancing measures of being at least 1.5m from the next person, one-way walking routes around the facilities, a limit on the number of swimmers and allocated times for swimming.<\/p>\n

Swimmers are encouraged to put their costume or suit on underneath their clothes prior to arrival and to shower at home before and after using the pool.<\/p>\n

The statement from KNZB<\/a> read:<\/p>\n

“Last Wednesday, the RIVM (the Netherlands National Institute For Public Health And The Environment) and the cabinet announced in an update about the measures relating to the corona virus that the indoor pools may open again from 11 May. From April 29, the outdoor pools were open again, only for youth. From 11 May, outdoor sports are allowed for everyone and the indoor pools may also open again.<\/p>\n

“Swimming provides fun, safety and fitness. With the swimming industry, we want to offer everyone the opportunity to take a dip in an indoor or outdoor pool as soon as possible. The protocol ensures that everyone can enjoy swimming in a safe and responsible way. In the interest of the public health of swimmers, pool staff and visitors, pool facilities will implement and enforce the measures in the protocol. In addition, compliance with the rules is necessary for everyone per target group. Only in this way can we together ensure that everyone can use the swimming pools in a safe and responsible manner.<\/p>\n

“The protocol was drawn up and drawn up by the collaborating parties in the swimming industry: Association of Employers in Swimming Pools and Swimming Schools (WiZZ), National Council for Swimming Safety (NRZ), United Technicians in the Swimming Pool Industry (VTZ), Zwembadpoli, Dutch Environment & Water Technology Association (Envaqua), DBZ (RUD), TU Delft, ENVOZ, HISWA-RECRON, EasySwim, Nederlandse Onderwatersport Bond (NOB), Nederlandse Cultureel Sportbond (NCS), Nederlandse Triathlon Bond (NTB), FNV, Vereniging Sportbedrijven Nederland (VSBN), Rescue Brigade Netherlands, Swimming Education Netherlands, Dutch Lifeguards, Association Sports and Municipalities (VSG) and Royal Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB). They previously joined forces to make every effort to enable the reopening of swimming pools as quickly as possible.”<\/p>\n

The government formerly put a strict ban<\/a> on activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
