Highway families splash into the New Year
Highway families are taking full advantage of their summer holiday before schools re-open on Wednesday, 19 January.
THERE is no better way to beat the summer heat than by taking a dip in the pool. The municipal pools, which were recently re-opened to the public following the nationwide Level 5 lockdown in March 2020, are still a popular feature for many families.

No drownings or serious incidents were reported at the Westville Swimming Pool throughout the festive season.
In December, 5 885 people visited the pool. New Year’s Day was its busiest day as it recorded 803 visitors.
The public is expected to adhere to the Covid-19 protocols and all children need to be accompanied by adults. Highway pools, Lahee Park and Westville, are open from Monday to Saturday from 06:00 to 17.00 and on Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00.
