Ready, set and swim
CORANGAMITE Shire’s outdoor pools are ready to open their gates for the 2024-2025 season.
Cobden, Camperdown and Terang pools will open for the season on Saturday.
Skipton and Timboon will follow on Saturday, November 30 and Lismore on Saturday, December 7.
Acting manager facilities and recreation Jane Hinds said council staff, along with the YMCA ,had been busy preparing the six outdoor swimming pools for the warmer months.
“Our facilities and recreation team have been busy preparing the six outdoor pools in readiness for the season, including cleaning facilities and carrying out general maintenance works while the parks and gardens team has been maintaining gardens and surrounds,” she said.
“This season the pools will offer a range of social activities including barbecues, inflatables, games and triathlons, as well as offering early morning swims and water aerobics.
“The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a warmer than average summer and your local pool is the ideal spot to beat the heat, and hang out with friends.
“Season passes, which provide unlimited access to all six pools, are available from the Civic Centre in Camperdown or can be bought at the pools. EFTPOS facilities are available at each pool.”
Season tickets cost $191 per family, $98 per adult and $88 per child. Day tickets are $15.90 per family, $5.30 per adult and $4.30 per child.
The Cobden pool will be open between 11am and 7pm on weekends, public holidays and school holidays. Between 3pm-7pm during the school term.
The pool will be open between 6am and 8am for morning lap swimming each Tuesday.
The opening hours will be the same for the Timboon pool as above, however morning lap swimming will be available each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
