The Mühleye swimming pool is very keen to introduce swimming to schoolchildren. For this reason, schools will once again have the opportunity to register for school swimming this season.
If you would like to stay in the pool for longer than 90 minutes, please register by telephone. Tel.: 027 946 20 84
Many thanks for the good cooperation and see you soon.
The Visper Swimming Days will take place for the tenth time at the end of August 2024.
The promotion of swimming remains the focus, but this year the concept will be somewhat renewed. The launch of the “4000 meter swim” project now makes it possible to swim the distances of various 4000 meter mountains in Switzerland or Iceland’s Troll Mountains.
For school classes
Schoolchildren can choose a mountain in their class that they would like to climb in the water and off they go. For one hour, the pupils have time to swim the distance of the chosen mountain in stages. In between, they can follow their progress on a large screen and see how much they still have to do before they reach the top. We ask school classes to register using the following form.
For the public
Now even the public can swim along. The event will be extended by one day. Alone, in pairs or in groups, you and your swimming partners have two days to swim the distance of your chosen mountain.
You can come along spontaneously without registering and take part!
Arrived at the top.
We ask everyone, school class or group, to make a small flag and take it with them. These will be displayed in the swimming pool at the end.
Further information
For school classes, the swimming sports day will only take place on August 30, 2024; the public can choose between August 29 and August 30.
The 4000s that are available for selection can be found here: Mountains – Top swimming (spitzenschwimmen.ch)
Make yourself proud and be there on August 29 and 30 at the Mühleye Visp swimming pool.
As part of the overall renovation of the Visp outdoor pool, the facility is being upgraded. This modernization includes several new attractions and energy-related technical improvements that will expand the leisure facilities and optimize the water quality.
One of the main attractions is the spectacular Racer Slide. This innovative water slide offers visitors an exciting and unforgettable experience. With parallel lanes, three people can start and race at the same time, which significantly increases the fun factor and ensures excitement for bathers.
A completely new children’s paddling pool is being built for our youngest guests. This facility consists of two pools at different levels, which are connected by a sluice with seating islands. Additional warm water flowing in via neck sills ensures a pleasant temperature. The equipment includes toddler slides, water spouts and a water mushroom, which provide a variety of water fun. A colorful splash park with various water sprinklers and a hilly landscape will be created next to the pool, offering children even more opportunities for play and discovery.
Background information on labeling
The swimming lane signage is a projection of our beautiful mountain ranges in the mountain valleys around Visp. The reliefs of the six mountain ranges are also projected into the pool water at different depths. The highest mountains are in the deepest water and the Dom, the highest mountain on Swiss soil, is also centrally located in the pool below the other 4000-metre peaks.
The swimmer can choose the starting point (usually a mountain visible from Visp) for the start in the non-swimmer section and then swims over the chosen mountain range along the mountain peaks into the deep water to the majestically highest mountain peaks.
All six mountain ranges surround the Upper Valais with the center in Visp. If you connect the individual mountain peaks to the south with those to the north and to the west with those to the east in lines, the lines intersect centrally in the Visp swimming pool.
Numbers game
The highest mountain peaks of the tracks 1-5 add up to the age of the swimming pool in Visp in days. 21 900 (60 years) or 21 900 meters above sea level.
