**AQUATICS OPENING HOURS TO CHANGE**

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

With active cases of Omicron isolating in Kāpiti, we’re making some temporary changes to our pool opening hours, classes and facilities on offer to minimise the need to close our doors if we have staff isolating at home.

From Monday 14 February our Aquatics team will be split into two bubbles. This will give us the best chance of keeping our pools open should one of our Aquatics team return a positive COVID-19 test. You can read the full story here – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Here’s a summary of the changes:

? Coastlands Aquatic Centre will be closed between 12noon and 3pm and at the earlier time of 8.30pm Monday to Friday. Weekend hours are 8am to 3.30pm. The programmes pool will be closed to the public at all times.

? Waikanae Pool will open daily between 10.30am and 5.30pm, with the toddler pool only available on weekends.

? Ōtaki Pool will be open from 11.00am–6.00pm Tuesday to Friday, from 8am–3pm on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Please check out our website for changes to our Aquafit class timetable and a full list of services on offer – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

We understand these changes are not ideal, but please be kind to our staff and mask, scan and pass when requested. ?

Noho ora mai Kāpiti, stay well.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
