Swimming pool entry will be free of charge for Hindmarsh Shire residents next summer, in a move to make the four facilities accessible for all.
Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor Brett Ireland said community feedback in relation to the operation of swimming pools brought about the change.
“We understand the financial challenges faced by many in our community and having free entry to the swimming pools is one way of ensuring there are no barriers to escaping the heat of summer,” he said.
“We want children to become comfortable with the water and give access to these essential facilities and services to all residents within our municipality.”
