SloveniaDuring this year's exceptionally hot summer, with temperatures regularly exceeding 30°C, Maribor's free swimming event at Mariborskem Otoku attracted large crowds. On two consecutive days, over 1,500 people used the facility, which was temporarily capped at its maximum capacity to ensure safety. Director Ranko Šmigoc of Šport Maribor explained that while the island could technically accommodate more people, they had to limit numbers to maintain control and safety. The free access was intended to help residents cope with extreme heat, though it will return to paid entry soon unless temperatures remain high. The event was well-received by locals and visitors, with some noting the convenience and quality of the facility.
