The City of Fremantle has confirmed temporary arrangements at alternative venues to cater for swimming and fitness classes while the Fremantle Leisure Centre is closed for repairs.
The leisure centre was closed to the public last week after storms and high winds damaged the roof covering the indoor pools.
The centre is expected to reopen at the end of November.
Leisure Centre Manager John East said, in the meantime, members and visit pass holders will be able to swim and attend fitness classes at other venues nearby.
“Starting tomorrow, 28 October, our school age squad programs will run in the 25-metre outdoor pool at the North Lake Senior Campus on Winterfold Road,” Mr East said.
“Leisure Centre members and multi-visit pass holders will also be able to access the North Lake pool for lap swimming on the weekends, starting from Saturday 30 October, from 9am-2pm on Saturday and 7am-2pm on Sunday.
“Access to the pool will be at no cost. Members and pass holders will just need to show their pass to obtain entry.
“Outdoor group fitness classes will also commence on Fremantle Park from Monday 1 November. There will be two or three classes per day from Monday to Friday, and again these are being provided at no cost to members.
“We’ve also been in discussions with a local gym to provide discounted rates to FLC members, and we’re finalising arrangements to host yoga classes at The Meeting Place on South Terrace. More details will be provided soon.
“We again apologise to our loyal members for the inconvenience caused by the closure, and we look forward to welcoming them back to Fremantle Leisure Centre at the end of November.”
All Fremantle Leisure Centre memberships, visit passes and learn to swim programs are currently suspended, with expiry dates to be extended to cover the period of the closure.
Members will also receive an additional 14 days on their membership at no extra cost.
Members, visit pass holders and swim program participants will continue to be updated with regular newsletters.
