Why Swimming Hats Matter: Understanding the Regional Rule for Our Indoor Pool
A refreshing, crystal-clear swim starts with a simple habit: wearing a swimming hat. In our indoor heated pool, a swimming hat is compulsory under regional regulations. This post explains what that rule means for your stay, how to comply with ease, and why this small step keeps everyone’s swim clean, comfortable, and enjoyable.
The Rule at a Glance
- Do I have to wear a swimming hat in the indoor pool? Yes. Wearing a swimming hat is compulsory under regional regulations.
- When does it apply? Whenever you use the indoor heated pool during its operating season (15 September–15 June).
- Is the indoor pool included for guests? Yes. The heated indoor pool is free of charge for all campsite guests during its season.
You’ll find lockers in the changing room so you can store personal items while you swim.
Why Swimming Hats Matter (for Everyone)
Wearing a swimming hat isn’t just about etiquette—it supports a better swim for all. Here’s how:
- Cleaner water, better experience: Hats help keep loose hair out of the pool so the water looks and feels inviting.
- Improved hygiene: Less hair and fewer residues from products reach the water, supporting overall pool cleanliness.
- Smoother pool operations: Keeping hair out of the water helps reduce strain on filtration equipment and drains, contributing to consistent water quality.
- Comfort for all swimmers: Fewer floating hairs and cleaner water mean a more pleasant swim for everyone.
These simple benefits are why many regions require swimming hats in indoor pools, where maintaining water quality is especially important.
How to Comply Easily
A bit of planning makes compliance effortless.
Packing checklist
- Swimming hat (one per swimmer; keeping a spare is helpful)
- Goggles (optional, for comfort)
- Microfibre towel (dries quickly and packs light)
- Small pouch to store your hat between swims
At the pool—quick routine
- Put on your swimming hat before entering the water. If you have long hair, tie it back to help the hat sit comfortably.
- Rinse briefly in the shower before your swim to keep the water fresher for everyone.
- Use the lockers in the indoor pool changing room to store your belongings safely.
After your swim
- Rinse and gently dry your hat; store it flat or in a small pouch to extend its life.
- Allow your hair to dry in the solarium area next to the pool if you wish to relax a bit longer.
