MERRYLANDS Swim Centre will be open earlier this season due to extended maintenance at Guildford and Wentworthville Pools.

The season at Merrylands will start next Monday, June 30th, two months earlier than usual - and swim coach Peter Johnston could not be happier.

"This will mean swim classes normally held at Guildford and Wentworthville can be catered for at Merrylands and it will be good for the general public as well." Mr Johnston said.

Activities at the centre, in Merrylands Park, Burnett St, include recreational laps, lessons and coaching for adults and children, and the swimming club.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 6am to 6pm, Saturday 6am to 2pm and Sunday 7am to 2pm. Entry fees are $4.20 for adults and $2.70 for children.
