One of the best things you can do to cool off is taking a refreshing dip. The swimming pool of Experience Park Dwingeloo is already open from 7 am. The first people already have their jobs, including Bé. She was already in the water around half past seven. “That is late for me, I usually try it at 7 o’clock. Then you are awake and you can go swimming immediately. Isn’t that wonderful?” She swims about 45 minutes to an hour. “Then it’s enough. I try it five days a week.”
Because of the heat, the Beleefpark is open all day. Normally the park is closed at noon in the low season, what it is still now. “It just gets really busy, I know for sure,” predicts manager Andrea de Groot. In addition, all students from the mayor WA Storkschool are free because of the study day. “The question arose whether it is possible and feasible that the children can swim all day. Well, we arranged that.”
