Inside the LOHAS Outdoor Swimming Pool:
The rental shop is on the way to the swimming pool. I handed in my rental ticket there and received a tube.
If you bring a tube from home, there is also an air gun available, so you can easily inflate it.
There are swimming pool rules posted, and there is also a convenience store and food court for food.
What I saw as soon as I walked in…?!
Wow, I can't believe there's a swimming pool like this in downtown Daejeon.
It wasn't small, and it was the size of most swimming pools.
There was also a shower with cool water on one side.
The water was not cool on August 2nd.
The water was a little dirty after lunch time.
Since the weather was so hot that day, I wanted to get straight into the water.
The pool operates for 50 minutes every hour, with a 10-minute break.
The safety staff blows a whistle to signal when to enter and exit.
During the break, I found a shady spot and set up my mat.
All you need is a mat, swimsuit, goggles, towel, tube, hat, sunscreen, and waterproof pack.
If you're visiting with children, you may need to prepare accordingly.
Although I couldn't bring a tube, it's better to bring one to avoid rental fees!
Showers are available, so if you plan on showering here, it's recommended to bring toiletries.
I didn't bring any toiletries because I was going to shower at home, but shampoo and conditioner are sold separately for ₩500, so you can buy them if you didn't bring them.
But the water is cold... I think the kids will be cold. I was cold too... I recommend showering at home.
Tubes were available in various sizes.
There were also several parasols, but no one was sitting under them?
Table set rental fee: ₩20,000
Since I didn't have time to sit while playing in the water, I thought it was better to sit on a mat ^ㅇ^!
It seemed like it would be good for parents to watch their children play nearby.
After getting ready, let's go play in the water!
I went to have a lunch after swimming. There is a food court on the 2nd floor and a convenience store on the 1st floor!
LOHAS Outdoor Swimming Pool Convenience Store:
Convenience stores also sell convenience food snacks such as fish cakes, tteok-bokki, and french fries.
If you want to eat at the convenience store on the 1st floor, you can eat here.
Looking at the menu, there are more items than I thought?!
Snacks that children will love
There were quite a few types of snacks and ice cream.
I simply ate cup ramen, beer, fish cake, and chicken skewers,
What’s better than ramen when playing in the water????
But after eating, I regretted it a bit because I should have gone to the food court on the 2nd floorㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋ
Make sure to separate and recycle your trash after eating!
As an outdoor swimming pool where you can play in the water in downtown Daejeon,
It was a great place to spend a vacation near home at an affordable price.
It's a place where students can take the bus!
Now that the always-open period has passed
Only weekend openings are available
Before the kids' vacation ends for the remaining 2 weeks,
If you want to spend the rest of the summer cooler and more enjoyable
I recommend visiting LOHAS Outdoor Swimming Pool
Since it's past the beginning of autumn
I hope the water isn't warm?!???????
There is a dehydrator outside the shower room
Please note that it was out of order and could not be used.
