THE Cranbourne Indoor Pool is offering residents three free visits to the facility during the Olympics.
Pool manager Chris Hargreaves said an Olympiad was an opportunity to become motivated and active.
“It’s once every four years and a good time for some physical activity,” he said.
Between 8 and 24 August, visitors to the pool will receive a pass entitling them to three entries.
But they have to make a splash before the Beijing Games are finished.
“The thrill of watching the best athletes demonstrate ability and skill is very inspiring,” Mr Hargreaves said.
“The free passes will encourage Casey residents to jump in the pool and put their health and wellbeing first.”
