Spring has only just started here on the Northern Hemisphere. In Eastern Europe it has already got quite warm, some 24 degrees, which is above average. How hot will the summer be this year?  It must have been hot back when this picture of kids having fun in the swimming pool was taken in Polkowice, Poland:

Polkowice is a town of some 22 000 inhabitants, located in Southern West of Poland. Its long history dates back to the XIIIth century. At the time this picture was taken, Polkowice was located in Germany and its name was Polkwitz. If you go there on a hot day this summer, you can follow the kids above and cool yourself down in a swimming pool built in the same place as the one in the picture. Or you can visit the modern Polkowice aquapark which attracts visitors from the whole region.
