Jonas Mayeur wanted to go to Lago Rozebroeken this weekend with his 4-year-old son, Boris, to enjoy the swimming pool. However, the 36-year-old Flemish was unable to enter the aquatic leisure center in Ghent: “
I didn’t have my identity card on me, and you have to scan it to get in. We come here often and my contact details were easy to find
“, he explains to the Nieuwsblad.
The father and his son then settled in the cafeteria for a short time before returning home: “
A boy in front of us couldn’t get in either: he hadn’t made a reservation and was missing 60 cents. Above all, I think it’s a pity that everything is so strict because of the behavior of some ».
Incidents in the swimming pool
Identity checks were indeed set up at Lago Rozebroeken three years ago, following incidents in the swimming pool. The aquatic center does not intend to remove this measure: “ We see that the number of incidents has decreased significantly since “, explains the director to our colleagues.
These checks verify that visitors are not on the establishment’s “black list”. In case of violation, customers are banned for a period of three months: ” These are not major incidents, but usually youngsters who still exhibit dangerous behavior after warnings from lifeguards “. Thus, Lago Rozebroeken hopes that its swimming pool will remain “a family and safe swimming pool”.
