Capital city pools are reopening this week – but with certain limitations.

The outdoor pools at Bannerman and Bowring parks are reopening on Thursday for lane and “bubble” swimming only.

Pools are limited to 50 people at a time and all children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Swimmers must be prepared to get in and out of the water quickly and leave the site immediately after getting out.

The capital city says an announcement on splash pads will be made as soon as they are ready for operations.
