Description

The Belfast Aquatics Community Pool in Port Fairy, Australia, has been abruptly closed due to mold and algae issues, leaving residents disappointed as the holiday season approaches. The pool serves as a vital resource for swimming lessons, exercise, and lifesaver training. Jacqui King, a local resident, emphasized its importance for water safety, while Peter OKeeffe, a regular swimmer, expressed frustration over the councils lack of transparency regarding repair costs. Teresa OBrien from the Belfast Aquatics committee of management believes the necessary repairs are not as significant as the council suggests. The pool and gym, considered the heart of the Port Fairy community, have been closed, and the community has gathered to discuss its future.
