Swimming Pool Season 2021/22

The swimming pool season is here, with longer days upon us and warmer temperatures just around the corner, it is time to think about getting active in your local pool.

“Swimming pools across the Shire are set to open throughout October 2021, in a staggered approach,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Ambrose Doolan. “The pools in Coolah, Coonabarabran and Dunedoo will open on the 9 October 2021. The pools in Baradine and Mendooran open on the 23 October 2021 and Binnaway pool will open on the 30 October 2021.”

“Now is the time to buy your season ticket for the 2021/22 swimming pool season as season ticket holders are able to access the pool any time between 6.00am and 6.00pm, by completing an induction and being issued with an electronic swipe card to gain access to the pool,” Cr Doolan explained. 

Full season and half season tickets are available as well as an upfront prepayment scheme is available if you are wanting to pay for a season ticket in instalments.

“For those without a swimming pool season ticket, Pool Attendants will be available at each pool during weekdays from 3.00pm and at most pools between 11:00am and 2:00pm on weekends. More details on when a pool attendant will be available at each pool can be found on Council’s website and will be updated regularly,” said Cr Doolan. 

Schools and user groups are reminded that bookings are required if you want to hire the swimming pool. When making a booking it is essential to notify Council if you require the services of a Pool Attendant.

“To keep our community COVID safe, QR code check in or manual sign in will be mandatory at each pool, there will be a limit on the number of patrons in the change room at any one time and physical distancing within the grounds and near the entrance to the pool must be observed.”

“Whether it is for fitness or recreation, the pool is a great place to wash away the winter hibernation, so make sure you purchase a season ticket and make the most of these terrific facilities in your town,” Cr Doolan concluded. 

Season tickets can be purchased at Council Administration Offices prior to the pools opening. For information on swimming pool timetables, dates of the 2021/22 swimming pool season, fees and charges, and booking forms visit the Town Swimming Pool Tab on Councils website.
