I really feel that the swimming pool must be maintained as alot of pupils use this pool for galas and training.

And when it is not maintained properly we cannot use it.

Please keep it maintained and help the children keep their beloved pool. Thank you so much.

I am passionate about our community and swimming. We pay to have public facilities maintained. The citizens in Ekurhuleni are robbed from having access to these facilities.

Public swimming pools (especially covered, heated indoor pools like Boksburg North Municipal Pool which can be used in the winter too) play an important role in promoting health and wellbeing in the community, swimming being one of the best ways citizens of all ages can keep fit.

I'm a resident of Boksburg and it's time that the Council actually uses the funds to properly maintain infrastructure.

As a swimmer wanting to perform well in the international stage, the condition of pool's is very important to me. If we do no have well functioning pools we cannot train, therefore cannot perform. Having 50m pools available and in good condition to train and race in is what will differentiate you being able to perform well overseas.

I like swimming.

Paul Hammerton (Benoni , 2023-07-26)

Sedibeng Aquatics no longer exists because of lack of facilities and support for aquatics by the district. We have been required to move to Eastern Gauteng Aquatics in order to belong to a district that promotes competitive swimming. This is now under threat because of similar problems. Lack of municipal facilities hampers participation by all communities due to the inhibitive costs associated with private swimming pools.

Kerry Fouche (Vereeniging, 2023-07-26)

Swimming is not only my livelihood it’s is my passion. I have watched kids become incredible adults, leaders, parents and business people and they all say it’s partly thanks to the discipline they learned at swimming. We have huge talent in this country and if we lose our pools we will battle even more to get anywhere!

Swimming is a life saving skill.
Too little children get the opportunity to learn to swim and when EGA try to expose children to the skill, our pools are in a terrible state.

I strongly believe that we have such beautiful swimming venues, but can’t even use them to assist our athletes reach their goals. We have such a large representation in the international swimming competitions but we don’t look after their needs. RSA could have so many more international presentation, but no facilities to get our athletes there.
