This month, Erasmus Sport and Oostelijk Zwembad will be jointly offering a special student pass for the public swimming pool. This pass allows students to use the pool facilities at a discount rate, and every Thursday the pool even holds a special student swimming hour for pass holders.<\/p>\n

For EUR 2.50, students can purchase a pass entitling them to two swimming sessions at the pool. After this, they can \u2018top up\u2019 the pass at a reduced charge. Students pay EUR 25 for an 11-session pass. The regular rate for a one-off visit to Oostelijk Zwembad is EUR 4.50.<\/p>\n

Athletic offer<\/b><\/p>\n

Jon de Ruijter, Director of Erasmus Sport, is pleased with the partnership. \u201cRecreational swimming was one activity that up to now wasn\u2019t really covered in our athletic offer.\u201d Thanks to this new partnership with the recently-restored public swimming pool \u2013 which features tiles from the 1930s and a came glasswork dome \u2013 students with a Sports Pass can now also swim at a discount rate.<\/p>\n

Swimming lessons for international students<\/b><\/p>\n

At some point in the future, De Ruijter would like to organise swimming lessons for international students in collaboration with international students\u2019 association ESN. \u201cWe don\u2019t know yet whether there actually is a demand for this kind of thing, but many international students don\u2019t know how to swim.\u201d<\/p>\n

Student swimming hour<\/b><\/p>\n

Last week also saw the launch of Oostelijk Zwembad\u2019s special student swimming hour for everyone who has purchased their swimming pass via Erasmus Sport. Every Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the public swimming pool is closed for everyone except students. Although nobody turned up on this occasion, De Ruijter expects the pool to become busier over the next few weeks. <\/p>\n

The student swimming card can be purchased up to and including 30 September. TF<\/p>\n\n\t
