THE National Aquatic Centre will now be open to the public twice weekly from next Thursday (July 16 2015). This statement was made by the Director of Sport Christopher Jones on Thursday following a visit to the Liliendaal facility.
According to Jones, the move is in keeping with the Vision statement of the facility which is to provide and maintain an aquatic facility that is safe and healthy for all. The Sport director added that the use of facilities like the Aquatic Centre will help to make swimming an effective activity for the young people to develop health minds, bodies and thus become competitive.
The facility will be open on Thursdays from 10:00hrs to 15:00hrs and on Sundays from 10:00hrs to 17:00hrs at a nominal cost of $1 000 for persons 15 years and above.
This will complement the annual Colgrain ‘Teach them Young; Summer Programme. (Stephan Sookram)
