Penny Webster Welcomes Support For School Pools

Swimming champion Lauren Boyle supporting the campaign is great to see, Councillor Penny Webster says.

Water Safety New Zealand’s mission to keep school pools open is a great initiative and exactly what our councils need. School pools are vital in rural areas and many children in the past have learnt water safety by using these pools. School pools are also an important recreational asset for our smaller communities.

Central Government regulations have made it difficult for schools to keep their pools but hopefully campaign such as these will help in the future.
