Pools to reopen for lap swimmers but you have to book
THE City of Greater Geelong will reopen swimming pools from next Friday.
The indoor pools — Leisurelink Aquatic & Recreation
Centre, Bellarine Aquatic & Sports Centre, Waterworld Leisure Centre and Splashdown Leisure Centre — will operate for regular hours.
Despite being out of its regular season, Kardinia Aquatic
Centre’s outdoor pool will also re-open, under restricted hours.
The facilities are allowed to operate with limited numbers, under the gradual easing of coronavirus restrictions.
They will open for limited lap swimming and mild exercise. Up to three people will be allowed to swim in each lane.
Toilets will be open but showers, changerooms and other facilities will remain closed.
Swimmers will need to book in for a 45-minute session in advance, with no walk-up entry allowed.
Bookings will be taken over the phone at each centre from Tuesday.
