Randwick Council to consider opening the beaches for Exercise & Mental Health reasons.
The issue
Randwick Council to consider a ‘Swim and Go’ Policy at Coogee, Maroubra & Clovelly Beach.
This would alleviate the gathering of people previously seen on the beaches and it should be easily enforceable .
All RC Aquatic pools are closed .
Beaches in other areas of Sydney are open .
Drop towel - Swim- Pick up towel and Go!
Whilst exercise is allowable in the form of walking / running / 2 up PT training -swimming is not allowed at the RC beaches.
For many - especially the elderly - swimming is the only form of exercise they can do . It also delivers outstanding mental health benefits which is crucial for all at this time .
If RC believes re - opening the beach full time is not possible other options could be;
Limited hours / No weekends/ One beach .
Council would still have the power to close the beach on any given day if they deem necessary.
For safety reasons two swimmers allowed in a group .
