Mens and womens only swimming sessions recommence
Aquamoves is offering single gender swimming sessions during the winter months.
Centre Manager Leanne Mulcahy said winter trading hours creates an opportunity to open the centre for single gender swimming sessions."Aquamoves is reopening the centre on the weekends at 5.30pm for the single gender program sessions," Ms Mulcahy said.
"The sessions are great for people who normally don't feel comfortable swimming with another gender or who have cultural or religious reasons for not doing so.
"Many of these people simply would not have enjoyed the simple pleasure of swimming had we not had these sessions, so it's great to be able to provide this service.
"We are limited as to when these sessions can take place, however during winter Aquamoves closes at 5.00pm on weekends so we hold the sessions after the centre closes.
"These sessions operate outside of regular trading hours and some patrons appreciate the chance to swim in an environment in which they feel comfortable.
"It's rewarding to offer a program which allows more people to enjoy the many health benefits associated with swimming."
Swimming sessions will operate each weekend up to the end of August. Normal entry charges apply.
Women only sessions are held on Saturday and men only sessions are held on Sunday.
The pools are open from 5.30pm to 7.15pm, with the centre closing at 7.30pm. No entry will be permitted after 6.30pm.
