“It feels great to have a facility where, we as the people charged with looking for future Limpopo swimmers, can know that we have the Polokwane municipality firmly behind us every step of the way as they understand the importance of having these competitions and that it is not just good for the sport, but the economy of the city in general,” he added.
He said that one can just imagine the value of people in their hundreds and more coming to the city looking for a place to eat, things to buy and they must stay somewhere. “Just think of the money they bring to the city just because of a town pool looked after by the municipality,” he added.
