Safety is a major focus at the Glenorchy War Memorial Pool and venue manager Shayne Jupp, pictured left, reminds everyone to safe in and around the water this summer.

“That message comes through loud and clear at the pool,” he said.

“Our priority is the safety of the swimmers – in particular those families who aren’t supercompetent, who just want to come and have a fun day at the pool.

“People know that we’re pretty diligent with the surveillancewe’ve always got our eyes on the pool.”

The Glenorchy War Memorial Pool is located at 1a Anfield St and is open from 6.30am-7pm Monday-Friday and 9am-5pm on weekends.

The pool will close for winter at the end of March and re-open in October.
