Closure has hit competitive as well as recreational swimmers
( After stakeholders in the film industry and gyms protested against the closure of cinemas and fitness centres due to COVID-19, it is the turn of swimming enthusiasts including competitive swimmers and their coaches to knock on the doors of the State government seeking reopening of the swimming pools. Though most swimming pools across the State had remained closed since March 2020, the government had relaxed the order in October 2020 to permit only the competitive swimmers to practice swimming. Pools in hotels and clubs have remained closed for more than a year now.More Related News
