The event will see the operation of swimming halls at various locations, including the Europasportpark, city baths in Charlottenburg, Neukölln, Tiergarten, Lankwitz and Schöneberg, as well as the swimming halls at Sewanstrasse and Ernst-Thälmann-Park. The outdoor pool Sommerbad Kreuzberg will also participate on its final day of the season, with guests enjoying the atmosphere under floodlights and access to two barrel saunas until 10 p.m. An air-supported hall at the Seestrasse combined pool will feature a light installation, creating a unique setting for the evening. Admission is available at the regular price, with a 20 percent discount on admission and saunas at Sommerbad Kreuzberg. The event is part of a series of upcoming activities, including the indoor dragon boat festival at the SSE on January 23rd and 24th, 2027, and the Fun Cup starting on Saturday, January 23rd, with free spectator access.",
