@leisure will be finalising its report for Council's consideration this week. This will go to the Council meeting later in the month. In the mean time, if you have suggestions about how to promote the pools and increase use, or suggestions for detailed improvements to the facilities we'd still be happy to hear them!

Watch out for the expression of interest coming soon for individuals or businesses to run classes or other activities at West Coast pools. We need to get the pools jumping this summer!
