    For more than 30 years, John & Nina Manning were the faces of the Bathurst pool.

    They ran the pool and the canteen, keeping an eye on swimmers doing their laps and kids who may or may not have been getting up to mischief on hot summer days.

    In memory of their dedication, the Bathurst community petitioned to change the name of the local aquatic centre to memorialise the couple, and locals described the impact the Manning’s had on their childhoods.

    Thanks in part to the community support, the Bathurst Aquatic Centre has been renamed the Manning Aquatic Centre in memory of John & Nina.
