TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Free outdoor pools at central Taiwan’s Daan Coastal Tourist Information Center (大安濱海旅客服務中心) are open from Saturday, June 22 to Sunday, September 1, Taichung’s Tourism and Travel Bureau said on June 21.

The operating hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 8 a.m.- 5 p.m., and the pools are closed every Monday for pool cleaning, the bureau said. The sprouting fountain, which is favored by children, is open on weekends, the bureau added.

Bureau chief Lin Hsiao-chi (林筱淇) said that Daan Coastal Tourist Information Center is very accommodating, and that Taichung citizens earnestly look forward to the opening of the free swimming pools and sprouting fountain during summer every year.

The children’s pool is about 80 cm deep on weekdays, while the adults’ pool is about 150 cm deep. The depth of the adults’ pool will be adjusted lower on weekends and holidays to accommodate children and avoid overcrowding in the children’s pool, according to the bureau.    [FULL  STORY]
