CAPE TOWN - After months of upgrades, the Retreat Swimming Pool is back in business - just in time for the hot summer season.
The indoor facility opened its doors again on Thursday.
The City of Cape Town says it's making good progress in its efforts to bring its indoor facilities back online.
There are four indoor swimming pools around the Cape metropole.
All eyes are now on Strand, which is set to reopen in early December.
The municipality said plans are in place to start opening community swimming pools from mid-November.
"Our swimming pool operations draw significant interest each year, and for good reason. They are amongst our most popular recreational facilities. Our Recreation and Parks department is working to get as many facilities as possible summer ready, and we ask the public to please bear with us while arrangements are finalised," said Patricia van der Ross, mayoral committee member for community services and health.
