The advice from Recreation SA to avoid disappointment is to: - plan ahead - check to see if your desired centre is open and make a booking if required, - ONLY to attend for fitness or rehabilitation swimming - come properly prepared if you do visit - WATCH AROUND WATER to keep your family safe. Our centres would love to see you, and we value your business, but we may have to turn visitors away if you are not swimming for fitness or rehabilitation purposes. We can’t wait to see you again once these restrictions have been lifted
