ISReykjavík City Council has approved extending the operating hours of the city's swimming pools to 10 PM on all holidays starting from September 1st. The proposal was introduced by representatives of the Independence Party and the Left-Green Movement and was passed at a council meeting. According to the decision, the change aligns with the majority's goal of increasing access to the city's swimming facilities. The council had previously approved extended hours during August for trial purposes, and this new approval makes the change permanent. The estimated annual cost of the change is around 31 million Icelandic krona. Previously, the cost of extending opening hours by one hour on holidays was estimated at approximately two to two-and-a-half million krona per month for all of Reykjavík's eight swimming pools.
