Swimming Pools

Our Pools

We are pleased to advise that entry to all Council pools will continue to be FREE for the 2022-2023 season.

The swimming pool season runs from Saturday 19 November 2022 to Monday 13 March 2023. Pools will open when the temperature forecast by the Bureau of Meteorology is 23 degrees or above in that location. Pools will open for morning lap swimming and school/swim club bookings regardless of the forecast.

All of our pools will be following strict COVID-19 safety protocols for the health and wellbeing of our patrons and staff. These protocols are subject to change in line with the Victorian Government guidelines at the time. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this tricky time.

Pool safety rules

Our qualified lifeguards are dedicated to ensuring your visit is a safe and enjoyable experience. You can help us by following these simple rules.

• Actively supervise children under your care at the facility. Caring for children is not the responsibility of the lifeguard.
  • Children aged five and under must be within arm’s reach of a responsible person aged 16 or over at all times. This means that if the child is in the water, they must be accompanied. A maximum of four children aged five or under may be under the care of a supervising individual.
  • Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible person aged 16 or older at all times. A maximum of eight children under 10 may be accompanied by one supervising individual.
• Make yourself familiar with water depths in each pool and access them in a safe and responsible manner.
• No smoking, consuming alcohol or bringing glass containers to the pool area and surrounds.
• Comply with the decision of the Lifeguard if they deny access to a pool facility to a person who appears intoxicated.
• Allow Lifeguards to inspect the content of bags, containers or eskies for prohibited items such as glass or alcohol.
• Follow a Lifeguard’s request to leave the facility if your behaviour is deemed to be of an anti-social nature or is offensive to others. Lifeguards have been instructed to call the police if an individual or group physically or verbally threatens them or other patrons.

Code Red Days

The outdoor pools may be closed at any time for safety reasons, including dangerous weather conditions, and sometimes with very short notice to members and guests.

On declared Code Red days, the facilities at Eildon and Marysville will not be open to the public. The facilities in Alexandra and Yea will only be open if there are staff available to work (Council encourages all staff to put their personal fire safety plans into effect on these days). If staff are available on Code Red days, the Alexandra and Yea facilities will have extended opening hours.

Learn to Swim

Council’s Learn to Swim lessons are run in partnership with VICSWIM. This five-day program teaches children how to swim and stay safe around the water.
