**AQUATICS OPENING HOURS TO CHANGE**
With active cases of Omicron isolating in Kāpiti, we’re making some temporary changes to our pool opening hours, classes and facilities on offer to minimise the need to close our doors if we have staff isolating at home.
From Monday 14 February our Aquatics team will be split into two bubbles. This will give us the best chance of keeping our pools open should one of our Aquatics team return a positive COVID-19 test. You can read the full story here – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Here’s a summary of the changes:
? Coastlands Aquatic Centre will be closed between 12noon and 3pm and at the earlier time of 8.30pm Monday to Friday. Weekend hours are 8am to 3.30pm. The programmes pool will be closed to the public at all times.
? Waikanae Pool will open daily between 10.30am and 5.30pm, with the toddler pool only available on weekends.
? Ōtaki Pool will be open from 11.00am–6.00pm Tuesday to Friday, from 8am–3pm on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Please check out our website for changes to our Aquafit class timetable and a full list of services on offer – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
We understand these changes are not ideal, but please be kind to our staff and mask, scan and pass when requested. ?
Noho ora mai Kāpiti, stay well.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
