After months of attacks, bullying and sexual harassment of visitors by aggressive young migrants, the large Schwimoper sports pool in Wuppertal has to close at midday on weekends. The situation was already unbearable, which is why the operator took this step, which also affects Germans who want to swim. He writes about it on Saturday every day Picture.
The “swimming opera” in Wuppertal is not a classic indoor pool, but above all a fun pool. Many people go there mainly to swim. But now the Schwimoper closes for an hour at midday on weekends, because of the aggressive migrants who mostly can’t even swim. Closing the pool seemed to be the only option to get rid of the migrants for a while.
“These groups of young foreigners are standing in the non-swimming part of the pool or sitting on the stands, then suddenly they form a crowd and start shouting insults and harassment,” he said. Alexandra Szilagowská, head of the sports and swimming pool office in Wuppertal. “The situation is getting worse and worse,” she said.
In July alone, there were twelve security operations in this pool, mainly due to young people with a migrant background. Like all young people under 17, they have access to a Schwimoper pool for €1.50, which is a real bargain. Most of them can’t even swim, which is why they get tired after a while, Szilagowská said.
As a result of the attacks, many migrants have been banned from entering the swimming pool, but they do not comply and there is no one to check the bans. “They don’t stick to it and they come anyway,” Szilagowska said.
According to Bild, the Germans are questioning the measures introduced last weekend, but none of them are complaining. The groups of migrants will leave at least this way, but Bild does not mention whether they will also return later. “We can’t just watch and let it continue. We’re not a fun pool, we’re not just a pool,” she said.
