Get ready to make a splash as the City of Johannesburg’s public swimming pools kick off the 2023/24 swimming season.
With a total of 57 pools, the excitement is about to begin.
MMC for Community Development Lubabalo Magwentshu said, “Starting from September 1, 18 pools will open their gates for the public to enjoy. And that’s not all, an additional 29 pools will be opening during the season, which extends until the end of March 2024. Make sure you seize this opportunity to enjoy the water.”
Tuesday to Friday, you can swim from 10:00 to 18:00. On weekends, the fun continues from 10:00 to 17:00. That is the perfect way to beat the heat and enjoy some outdoor recreation.
