Wetlook World Forum

it's just a question of luck. I wasn't there yesterday, but my best guess would be lots of wetlook - so I do make mistakes in that matter. I think that there are some things that help wetlook (first day of heatwave, weekend day, end of school, etc). I usually come at around 12-13 and stay till 16-17. I miss the morning wetlook rush hour, but then there is one at 14 (when girls with dogs tend to come and at 16-17, when new people come after dinner). But yes, it can be frustrating. One day you get klots of pics (like Monday - the pics on Webshots are from last monday) and another day, almost the same as far as weather goes you see none. Don't really know why.

As far as being allowed to swim there, you technically are not. Some years ago they tried putting up signs because a few people got some rash, but they where ignored for a few days and then vandalised. Anyway, Polish authorities have a very relaxed attitude to bathing in fountains and each heatwave you'll see some advise how to stay cool and pics of people in fountains in papers. I don't know about Park Skaryszewski, but basing my opinion on other fountains you can;t bath only if the fountain or park itself is a historical site (zabytek) such as the old one in Park Saski, All water in Lazienki Park etc. Maybe Park Skaryszewski is also historical. Anyway, we still have some time till Warsaw dries out like the west (the information from Leon and others about more and more "no bathing" policies in well known fountains in Paris and London as well as in shopping mall fountains). Here, still the cities don't care, as well as the private establishments (like Arkadia & Wola Park Malls and Metropolitan building)
