Five-Star Water Safety Rating

Congratulations to BM Leisure Centres for becoming five-star water safety partners last month. This is an important tick of approval for all five BM pools granted by Royal Life Saving Society.

Blue Mountains City Council centres at Katoomba, Lawson, Springwood, Glenbrook and Blackheath all earned the safety rating after the Royal Life Saving Society conducted safety audits of facilities. Centres passed with flying colours meeting compulsory and stringent safety benchmarks.

Great work management & staff.
