The council adds Monday morning swimming at Svalbardhallen

Longyearbyen lokalstyre (the local council) is expanding the offer at the swimming pool. From Monday 12 October, morning swimming is available at Svalbardhallen at the start of the week. Monday morning becomes a new time for those who want a fresh and active start to the week.

Morning swimming three days a week

From 12 October, the local council offers morning swimming:

Monday 06:30 to 08:00

Wednesday 06:30 to 08:00

Friday 06:30 to 08:00

On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 06:30 to 08:00, the council keeps the sauna open.

During October, the council is also starting a new offer for children who will start school next year.

Svalbardhallen and the local council's kindergartens are cooperating to give next year's school starters an opportunity to get to know the swimming pool and try out the pool now. This will be a good opportunity for mastery and water activity in safe surroundings.

The offer, which will be on Mondays during the hours the children are in kindergarten, is extra valuable because the swimming pool will be closed for rehabilitation next year.

The council looks forward to welcoming both morning swimmers and next year's school starters to Svalbardhallen.
