Heads up Moana Pool swimmers! We have a series of tile tank works happening from October through December.
From Monday 12 October we’ll be installing a tile tank into Lane 4 at the deep end of the main pool.
A spider crane will be on site, so you may notice temporary changes to how you move around the deep end.
The pool will still be open and operating as normal. Thank you for your patience!
