The council closes Svalbardhallen pool for national swim meet

On Saturday 31 October the water will be colder than normal, and baby swimming is cancelled. During the weekend of 6 to 8 November a national swimming competition is held in Svalbardhallen, and the swimming pool is therefore closed to the public from 14:00 on Friday through Sunday.

Because the required water temperature is being adjusted for the national swimming competition, the pool water will be colder than normal this coming Saturday, 31 October. This means baby swimming is cancelled. Longyearbyen lokalstyre (the local council) opens for visits for all guests from 12:00 that day. The council apologises for the inconvenience to the youngest, but hopes for understanding.

During the weekend of 6 to 8 November, Svalbardhallen fills with swimmers taking part in a national swimming competition. The council is pleased to welcome swimmers from the mainland to Longyearbyen. In connection with the competition, the swimming pool will be closed to the public from Friday 6 November at 14:00 through Sunday 8 November.

The council encourages the public to drop by and cheer on the swimmers. With engagement and cheering from the stands, everyone can help make for a great competition weekend.

The council welcomes everyone to Svalbardhallen, whether they are there to train in the hall or the training room, or to cheer on the swimmers.
