Swimmers were cleared from the affected pool, and it has been closed for water superchlorination for disinfection, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department said.

The pool will reopen at around 6.55 pm today after the free residual chlorine level returns to normal.

LCSD appeals to swimmers to be considerate and to keep the swimming pools clean. They are advised not to swim after a full meal and should use the toilet facilities if necessary before swimming.
