Some days the only plan that works is getting wet. This list gathers the water parks, swimming pools and open-air bathing spots around the city that work for kids: indoor pools with slides for the cold months, and outdoor swimming once it warms up. Check each listing for opening hours and the shallow areas for younger swimmers before you pack the towels.
Morskie Oko is a 4.3-hectare lake on the east side of the city, with a sandy shore, concrete sunbathing terraces and piers into the water. Lifeguards watch the swimming area every day.
Away from the water there's a sandpit with a sun sail for small kids, beach volleyball and beach tennis courts, a grill area with picnic tables, and a café with food trucks and ice cream.
A municipal pool complex with three pools. The kids' pool, kept at 32°C, has a 90cm learn-to-swim section and a 40cm wading pool with a slide. Older kids and adults swim in the 25m lane pool, 1.3m to 1.8m deep.
In summer a 25m outdoor pool opens too, with a shallow section for small children, plus loungers and showers.
This indoor water park has nine slides, from the DuoRacer, where two riders race side by side, to a gentle slide in the paddling pool, plus a wave pool, a lazy river and jacuzzis.
The Children Bay is a warm 32.5°C pool, 90cm deep, with a small slide and wall fountains, and it doubles as the swimming-lesson pool. Outdoor pools and a brine pool open in warm weather.
