City of Cape Town has announced a pilot programme that will see extended weekday operating hours at its 31 community swimming pools, Cape town Etc reports.
From Wednesday, 28 January 2026, until 6 April 2026, these pools will open from Wednesdays to Sundays, marking a significant change in the scheduling of these community facilities.
This pilot initiative comes after the City's swimming pools reverted to weekend-only operations on 19 January 2026, following a busy summer season.
