Due to high temperatures, free entry to Ljubljana's swimming pools, but beware, restrictions apply.

Due to a heatwave, the public facility Šport Ljubljana, in collaboration with the City of Ljubljana, has decided to offer free swimming at its pools starting August 4th. This applies to all Šport Ljubljana pool locations, including Vevče, Kolezija, Ilirija, and Kodeljevo. The free access is subject to capacity limits to ensure safety, and visitors are encouraged to arrive early before these limits are reached. Similar measures were implemented earlier this year in Zagreb and Vienna, where free swimming was available since June. In Ljubljana, prior inquiries about similar initiatives did not receive responses from the city, which previously mentioned cooling options like fountains and shaded green areas.

Authorities emphasize that free access is conditional on maintaining safety standards and will enforce maximum occupancy levels.

While the decision involves government action, there is no evident ideological framing or emphasis on specific political agendas. The tone is ap政
