UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2025 URL: https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/02249 Description : Swimming pool culture refers to the widespread use of heated outdoor pools. Despite cold climates, these spaces remain popular, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. People visit the pools for various reasons, such as to exercise, relax or socialize. The public swimming pools are run by the community, for the community — a dynamic that has created unique social arenas. For instance, hot tubs have become informal debating parlours. Swimming pool culture is passed down through the generations, with parents bringing infants to the pool. As children grow, they continue to visit the pools, attending swimming lessons, participating in school activities, and spending time there with friends or family.
