The Member of the Mayoral Committee for Community Development in the City of Johannesburg, Cllr Margaret Arnolds, is continuing with a phased-in approach on the opening of 55 of the municipality's swimming pools.
A total of 21 pools will open from November 1st 2020, an additional 20 will open mid-November. By end November, 41 (75%) pools will have opened.
This staggered approach will ensure that safety is not compromised and resources are rationalised in the best possible manner.
“Demarcated pools within the City will facilitate with the water safety programmes. This as a measure to ensure children become water safe. Numbers are limited and will be facilitated on a first come first serve basis," said MMC Arnolds.
“Pool lovers are requested to respect staff, observe regulations and respect the neighbourhood. Should safety regulations be compromised, the City will have no other alternative but to close pools," said MMC Arnolds.
Cllr Arnolds has again urged residents to safeguard recreational facilities like pools against vandalism by becoming ambassadors of the “friends of facilities" initiative.
In compliance with the Covid-19 regulations, pools will open at 50% capacity.
Below is the status of each pool, which opened as at 30 October 2020.
