16.01.2022 Public Reminder - Recreational Swimming Statement Dear Patrons, We understand this Thursday, Friday and through the weekend will see temperatures rise to 40c. ...Unfortunately, due to current COVID-19 restrictions, pools are NOT open for public access to recreational swimmers. They are only open for rehabilitation and fitness (lap swimming). 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
