Pool Maintenance

While the MARC facilities have been closed, a scheduled 50m pool maintenance was brought forward to ensure it's in top shape for customers to enjoy when the time is right.
It's a time to get those little jobs finished, to touch up some rough edges & to focus on improvements. Then when normality kicks in, Mandurah can reopen bigger & better than ever!
Check out the video of the pool being emptied!
