During a routine inspection of the facility, a sinkhole was detected. The sinkhole was created by a collapsed water line. For a proper assessment of the damage and to determine the exact scope of work required for repairs, the entire water line must be unearthed. At this stage, the pool has to be closed due to this critical work. We apologise to the facility users for any inconvenience caused, and will work as speedily as possible to ensure that this amenity is up and running soon,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Patricia Van der Ross. </p><p>Bathers are encouraged to use the Long Street indoor swimming pool while Sea Point is closed. </p><p>Long Street's operating hours are Monday to Sunday and public holidays, 07:00 - 19:00</p><p>Long Street Indoor Swimming Pool is reserved for use by ladies only every Tuesday from 10:00 – 14:00, or 10:00 - 13:00 during school holidays.
