Sebastian Bezzel: In the outdoor pool you learn for life

He doesn’t like fun pools at all. Actor Sebastina Bezzel loves the outdoor swimming pools of his childhood. He can soon be seen in the comedy “Beckenrand Sheriff”.

Berlin – Actor Sebastian Bezzel (50) hopes that many old-fashioned outdoor pools will survive. In the country in particular, they are an important social catchment basin, he told the German Press Agency in Berlin.

Bezzel can currently be seen in the movie “Kaiserschmarrndrama” and soon in the comedy “Beckenrand Sheriff”, which is about the future of an outdoor swimming pool.

It is a great idea to use it as the setting for a serious comedy, said Bezzel, who comes from Bavaria and now lives in Hamburg. He also spent his youth in the outdoor pool. “You only go there as a child and want to learn to swim. Then you can swim. Then at some point the diving tower is the most interesting. “

Then you come to an age when suddenly young women in bathing suits or bikinis are interesting. And the question: “How do I get in touch with them now?” Later the circle comes full circle – meanwhile a friend, with whom he used to swim, goes to the outdoor pool in Garmisch with his daughter, said Bezzel.

That is something different than these event fun pools with some monster slides, where you always have to pay 30 euros entry, said Bezzel. Outdoor swimming pool is a really nice invention to be able to have an afternoon vacation in the simplest possible way. That must continue to exist.

The outdoor pool means freedom and still there are a few rules to be observed. And of course there is always a struggle with the lifeguard who says: “Don’t jump from the edge of the pool!”. You do it anyway and if you get caught, you might be thrown out of the bathroom. “That’s the great thing about it: You somehow learn life and society.” Dpa
