Die Christophorus- und die Nütterdener St.-Georg-Grundschule nutzten dafür das Schwimmbad Lubert in Groesbeek. Doch damit wird spätestens ab dem 1. Januar 2026 Schluss sein... Das Bad wird definitiv schließen. Was danach kommt, ist nicht geklärt. Die Politik der Gemeinde Berg en Daal hält sich vier verschiedene Möglichkeiten offen, wie mit dem Schwimmbad verfahren wird. Die Entscheidung dazu soll im Frühjahr getroffen werden. 50 Jahre ist das Bad mittlerweile alt und extrem sanierungsbedürftig. Unter anderem hat Chlor der Technik zugesetzt. Die vier Möglichkeiten sind: Renovierung, Abriss und Neubau oder ein Neubau, der dann in einen größeren Komplex eingebettet wird. Vierte Option: Bagger und Ende”.
