The annual pool party was part of a series of pool parties. One was held at the Mosgiel Pool in December and another is planned at the St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool in January.

Dunedin City Council community pools team leader Matt Austin said a good turnout of about 75 to 100 people attended.

"It’s a great way to raise awareness of the great facilities we have at these pools and get everyone together for a good time.

"We had Otago cricketer Mark Craig attend and set up a few games of cricket which was great."
