McCallum explains because of COVID-19, you’ll still have to follow social distancing rules and swim only in the designated areas.
“Keep your children within arm’s length, and be aware of the currents and tides inexperienced swimmers should always be wearing a life jacket,” he advises.
If you are sick, the mayor is reminding you it’s still important to stay home and wash your hands.
