Hillcrest is an important venue for swimmers in Pretoria. I swam all my school galas there and trained there for many years. It is shocking that it has not been maintained.

I grew up in Pretoria, and spent my childhood in Hillcrest pool and I feel a pool should be available to all kids without pools at home.

My daughter practiced there swimming on an ad hoc basis especially 50m. Most pools only 25m..

If the City management do not want a clean and inviting city that is a pleasure to live in
then allow the community that does want a clean and well functioning city to maintain places like this swimming pool.

A lot of schools in Tshwane use this pool for their swimming galas. It would be shame if it fell into disuse because of lack of funds and bad planning.

I trained and swam many kilometers in this pool during my school years. It also gave me great breaks to recharge while studying for the matric exams years ago. I remember the pool to be clear and beautiful and a wonderful place to cool down on hot summer days in Pta. Please keep it going for the next generation, it's a landmark in the area.
