21 June 2022, Author: Iga Arciszewska

In in connection with the beginning of summer and the ongoing bathing season, we appeal for caution and compliance with basic safety rules over the water. Let's choose those bathing areas where a lifeguard watches over our Security. Let's also remember about filters  sunscreen, drinking large amounts of water.

Astronomical summer began today, i.e. June 21. Holidays, in turn, we will have from Friday 24 June. This is a period in which, especially on hot days, a lot of time we spend by the water: lake, river, sea. It is worth taking care of safety yours and loved ones. In Ełk there are two guarded bathing areas, i.e. at ul. Kolbego and at Parkowa Street. Rescuers are available from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Simultaneously The Municipal Sports and Recreation Centre reminds that in Ełk is available a specialized bathing trolley that facilitates transport on the beach and direct access to water for people with disabilities.
