Swan Hill indoor pool opening Monday
GREAT news for our local swimmers with Belgravia Leisure announcing they will be reopening their indoor pool facilities at the Swan Hill Leisure Centre on Monday, June 15.
As we have seen with the reopening of other facilities, there will be some changes at the centre to mitigate the potential risk of coronavirus infection.
Public access to the pool will need to be booked in advance via the centre’s booking management system. Water bubblers, showers and changerooms will also be unavailable to ensure that all risks of infection are mitigated.
The centre is continuing to work on the release of timetabling for the reintroduction of aquatic programs such as aqua aerobics, swim lessons and squad training. Further advice will be provided as this is developed.
In more great news, the centre is planning for a re-opening of its health club from June 22 (subject to any further change in government restrictions).
For more information, contact the Swan Hill Leisure Centre on 5032 5222.
