A sure sign summer's on its way

St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool duty supervisor Ian Fitzpatrick watches as a robot pool scrubber puts the finishing touches to the paddling pool in readiness for the opening of the pool on Saturday.

It is the last of the city’s public swimming pools to open for the summer season.

Council acting parks and recreation group manager Tom Dyer said it was always a well-used pool when the weather was nice.
