When does the pool close?

The on-site pool closes on 15 September.

That makes the answer simple for anyone asking how long they still have to swim this season: you can enjoy the pool until 15 September. If a refreshing dip is part of your ideal stay, it is worth planning that into your visit now rather than leaving it until the last minute.

Why the final swimming days are worth making the most of

The last stretch of the outdoor swimming season often has a special feel. The busiest summer weeks are behind us, the pace on the park can feel a little calmer, and a swim becomes less about rushing and more about fully enjoying the moment.

At Het Lorkenbos, that fits naturally with the rhythm of a stay focused on comfort, nature, and small pleasures. One moment you may be out exploring the surroundings, and the next you are back on the park, ready to unwind by the pool.

A late-season swim can be a great way to:

How to plan your last summer swims before 15 September

If you want to make the most of the countdown to pool closure, a little planning goes a long way. You do not need a packed schedule. Often, the best approach is simply to build one or two intentional swim moments into your stay.

1. Put your swim on the day plan early

Holiday days fill up quickly. A walk, a bike ride, a meal, a stop back at your accommodation, and suddenly the day is gone. If swimming matters to you, decide in advance when you want to go.

A simple plan could be:

  1. Morning swim before the day begins
  2. Afternoon swim after exploring the area
  3. One final dip on your last full day

2. Pair swimming with outdoor activities

Reception work at Het Lorkenbos includes giving tips on walking and cycling routes, which says a lot about the kind of stay many guests enjoy here. A swim fits naturally into that rhythm.

For example, you might:

This kind of simple combination can make a regular holiday day feel much more complete.

3. Choose comfort over rushing

The final weeks before the pool closure on 15 September are not about doing everything at once. They are about noticing what makes a stay memorable. Small moments often stay with you longest: drying off in the late sun, hearing children still laughing in the water, or taking that final swim of the season because you made time for it.

4. Keep the pool visit easy and relaxed

A good pool visit often comes down to practical simplicity. Bring what you need, allow enough time, and make sure everyone in your group understands the pool guidelines.

That helps you focus less on logistics and more on enjoying the experience.

What to do around your swim at Het Lorkenbos

Swimming may be the focus right now, but it can be part of a broader late-summer day on the park and in the surrounding area.

Walking and cycling

Guests regularly receive tips about walking and cycling routes, and that makes sense. Time outdoors is part of what gives a stay here its character. A swim can work beautifully as either the start or finish of an active day.

Enjoying the atmosphere on the park

Attention to detail matters in hospitality, and small touches can make a stay feel special. A calm morning, an extra towel when needed, helpful local tips, or simply having time to pause between activities all contribute to that feeling.

Swimming is one part of that wider experience: easy, enjoyable, and tied to the season.

Social-media-worthy late-summer moments

The atmosphere around Het Lorkenbos is often captured through genuine moments rather than polished perfection: a dewy morning, a sunset over the heath, and the natural character of the surroundings. The final swimming days fit right into that same mood.

If you love remembering a holiday through photos, the last part of the season can be especially rewarding. Think quiet poolside moments, soft late-summer light, and that unmistakable feeling of wanting to stretch the season just a little longer.
