(a) Swimming pools, spa and sauna’s may exist across the public sector for a variety of purposes, commercial or otherwise. They range from the pools operated by Venues West in their management of facilities, Education Department with school swimming pools, WA Health with recovery pools for rehabilitation to other varieties not listed. Not all pools cost money to attend, nor may count attendance. I request that the member be more specific with his question.
(b) The scope of this question is too broad as it may range from private gym facilities, local governments that operate swimming pools or building companies that construct swimming pools. I ask that the member be more specific with his question.
