The metro’s community swimming pools are ready to welcome patrons for the beginning of the swimming season.
The spring/summer season brings with it the need to dip into a crystal-clear pool for a swim.
As such, the metro’s pools have been rehabilitated and renovated while others are being built from scratch to prepare for the swimming season.
In April 2019, executive mayor Clr Mzwandile Masina officially handed over a beautiful swimming pool to the community of Eden Park, while the Duduza Swimming Pool is still under construction.
The metro has resolved to keep designated community pools open for the upcoming festive season.

Ekurhuleni has three types of pool categories with different facilities.

Entrance fees to community pools according to their categories are as follows:
• Category A: R15 per person
• Category B: R10 per person
• Category C: R5 per person
In Germiston, the Delville, Elsburg, Dinwiddie, Leondale, Palm Ridge, Primrose and Gerdview swimming pools are open, while the Klopper Park Swimming Pool will open on October 1.
