Test events at new pool |
A month of test events will be held at the Peninsula's new pool complex in preparation for its official opening on Saturday, October 29.
The Community Chest "Big Splash" will see 100 raffle winners be the first people to jump into the new pool on Sunday, September 25.
One of these 100 people will win a lifetime pass to the pool.
The other winners will receive a free one-year pass.
Peninsula Leisure Centre aquatics coordinator Mr Simon Clarke said the month of October would be busy.
"We have many new staff to train, a rigorous campaign of testing, and the commissioning of plant and equipment to complete," Mr Clark said.
"Most importantly, we need to be absolutely sure that all our safety systems and procedures work."
The Centre will hold a number of "controlled test events".
The Woy Woy Swimming Club will be hosting the centre's first competition meet on October 15, to ensure all timing and pool equipment operates effectively.
The health and fitness centre, the sports hall and the café will also be the focus of other test events with centre management liaising with local clubs and community groups to provide volunteers.
"As managers of a $25 million facility, the staff must be sure our service will be of a high quality and delivered in a professional manner before we open the doors to the public on Saturday, October 29," Mr Clarke said.
