Metro opens swimming pools

The City of Ekurhuleni has officially opened some of its swimming pools to the public.

Before opening the facilities on October 1, the city ensured the pools undergo thorough maintenance and preparation to ensure a healthy and safe swimming environment for bathers.

Whilst only a selected number of pools are open, the city continues with maintenance at all times to ensure that the water quality of all pools is compliant with the safety standards set by Life Saving SA and the aquatics regulatory authorities.

The following pools are open: Selection Park, Birchleigh, Boksburg North, Delville, Edenvale, Klopper Park, Etwatwa, Benoni North, Leondale, Reiger Park, Van Dyk Park, Thokoza, Edenpark, Benoni, and Faranani.

While a majority of the pools may be opened for use now, members of the public are advised to exercise caution and patience as high public turnouts are anticipated due to the current hot weather conditions.

Crowd control measures are in place, and lifesavers are deployed to ensure the safety of patrons.
