COVIDSafe Update

To provide a safe environment for our community, changes will be implemented to meet the NSW Government's COVID 19 restrictions at out outdoor pools. Each pool will be affected differently based on the size and type of facility, and we recommend you check in with your local pool once open to see what changes may apply.

As a minimum, changes will include:

Maximum capacities applied to each facility, pool and building area

Booking systems to manage customer numbers

Customer sign in for contract tracing purposes.

Additional requirements for group bookings and events

During your visit, we also ask you to please:

Not visit our pools if you are unwell or have flu like symptoms

Maintain good personal hygiene, including regular hand washing/sanitising

Shower and change at home where possible

Download and use the COVIDSafe App
