To mark the anniversary of the Black Summer bushfires, Bega Valley Shire pools will offer free entry on Saturday and Sunday, 6 and 7 March.
“We are committed to supporting our community during our recovery and our free pool weekend provides a great opportunity for community members to connect, relax and enjoy themselves,” Aquatic and Leisure Facilities Coordinator, Nic Hoynes said.
“People might want to consider travelling to another town for a swim and making a day of it.”
Bookings can be made in person or by phoning your local swimming pool. Due to COVID restrictions, maximum capacities will apply, and access may be restricted based on swimmer numbers or space available.
