Bushy Park's back in the swim

THE Bushy Park War Memorial Swimming Pool has reopened for another summer season. Opening day was last Thursday, and there was a big crowd of more than 90 swimmers when local temperatures soared on Saturday.

Lifeguard/caretaker Leigh Nichols and the pool committee have the pool and surrounds looking great. As the picture shows, today's temperature peaked at 31 and the solar-heated pool was a comfortable 26 degrees.

The 33m outdoor pool is open from 3-6pm on weekdays (this will change to noon-6pm during the school holidays). On weekends the pool opens at 10am.

The pool has a Facebook page here.
