CAPE TOWN - With the holidays upon us, many of the Mother City's public swimming pools are already bustling.  

In Parow North, 10 lifeguards keep watch over the children's paddle and the Olympic-sized swimming pools. 

The rules are strict; no alcohol, diving or sharp items.

It's R9 for adults and R3 for the little ones. 

The Parow North pools have a capacity for 400 people, so come early over weekends. 

Retreat's pools are open after extensive repairs whilst Sea Point's pools will open soon after a sinkhole is fixed, just in time for the December school holidays.
