MPOPOMA and Luveve swimming pools were officially opened to the public on Monday following extensive refurbishments by the Bulawayo City Council.
The swimming pools will open from 10AM to 1PM for morning sessions and 2PM to 6PM for afternoon sessions.
Children will pay 50 cents and those above 17 years will part with $2.30 per session.
With temperatures soaring in the city, the opening of the two swimming pools that had been shut down for years will come as good news for recreational swimmers in the two suburbs.
They will also help in offering swimming lessons, life saving courses and swimming competitions in the city’s high density suburbs that have been deprived of such activities.
The Luveve swimming pool is a 25-yard and six lane facility, while the Mpopoma pool is a 25-yard and has eight lanes.
The official opening of the two means the Bulawayo City Council now has five operational pools, which also include Bulawayo City Pool, Barham Green and Northend.
Barbourfields swimming pool has not been working for years and little has been done to rehabilitate the dilapidated facility.
