Community Survey
Douglas Shire Council is keen to know how we can improve Mossman Swimming Pool to make it more attractive. We want to enhance the experience for current swimmers and water lovers and to encourage new users.
Swimming provides a full-body workout, improves heart and lung fitness, and builds muscle strength and endurance. It’s also low-impact, easier on your joints than many land-based exercises, and it can help with stress.
Take this two-minute survey and make a splash with your feedback.
