Seasonal bathing area on Zalew Ozorkowski (Starówka) operated by CSiR Wodnik, with sandy water entry and designated swimming zones.
Wodnik Bathing Area operates on Zalew Ozorkowski, also called Starówka, at the junction of Sienkiewicza and Wiejska streets. The facility is managed by Centrum Sportu i Rekreacji Wodnik w Ozorkowie, which in addition to the seasonal bathing area also runs indoor pools and sports halls at ul. Lotniczej.
The municipal reservoir consists of two artificial ponds with a combined area of 170,711 square metres, of which the water surface itself covers 135,081 square metres, with the remainder comprising green areas and surrounding infrastructure. The bathing area itself, demarcated by two piers, has a shoreline of 50 metres in length.
Water entry is gradual and sandy, and zones for swimmers and non-swimmers are separated by coloured ropes stretched across the water, which helps with orientation for families with children and swimmers venturing further from shore. Water safety is overseen by lifeguards equipped with rescue equipment and radio communication.
Outside the summer season, when the bathing area is closed, CSiR Wodnik operates year-round as a sports and recreation venue, offering indoor pools, a fitness room, playing fields and swimming lessons at ul. Lotniczej 1a.
In Ozorków itself, it is also worth visiting the Miejska Biblioteka Publiczna im. K.K. Baczyńskiego if you are looking for other activities in the town.
The bathing area status and water quality at Zalew Ozorkowski are announced each season by the sanitary inspector in the GIS Bathing Area Service, so it is worth checking the current announcement before your visit. Nearby, in the Zgierz commune, there is also the Rezerwat Przyrody Dąbrowa Grotnicka, which can be visited while you are in the area. Those seeking activities away from the water can visit the nearby LOK shooting range in Ozorków.
