The search is on for Petone’s oldest swimmer
When the McKenzie Baths re-open in Petone in November we’re hoping one of the pools original swimmers will be there to help cut the ribbon.
Hutt City Council is searching for someone who remembers when the McKenzie Baths originally opened 80 years ago in 1933.
“We’d love to find one of the pools original swimmers,” says Stephen Keatley, Recreation Facilities Manager at Hutt City Council.
“As well we being able to hear stories from the pool we’d like to invite them to join the Mayor in officially re-opening the pool on Friday 15 November.”
If you think you are Petone’s oldest
swimmer – or you know someone who could be – send your
name, age, contact details and memories of McKenzie Baths to
communications@huttcity.govt.nz We will need to hear from you
before Friday 25 October. Petone’s oldest swimmer will
need to make their own way to the pool and be available for
the official opening ceremony on the morning of Friday 15
November. ENDS
