A mask must be worn at all times inside the building and visitors must follow the one-way system in place. Lockers will not be in use, but showers will be open to the public. Additionally, social distancing rules must be adhered to both in and out of the water. In preparation for the opening, 200 deckchairs and umbrellas have been setup along with diving boards and a water slide, available to use at specific times of the day.
