Hindmarsh Swimming Pools to Reopen on Saturday 27 November 2021

Published on 22 November 2021

With COVID-19 restrictions eased and summer just a few days away, we would like to advise the community that the Nhill, Dimboola, Rainbow and Jeparit Outdoor Swimming Pools opening date has changed and all swimming pools will be reopening for the summer on Saturday 27 November 2021. The YMCA will have a celebration at each pool from 3pm – 5pm as part of the pools opening up for the 2021/22 summer season.

Council had hoped to open all of the pools last weekend, however due to low temperatures, inclement weather and some minor operational issues, the opening was delayed. There is likely to be more community benefit by delaying the opening and extending the swimming season in the warmer months.

Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Melanie Albrecht stated “With the warmer weather nearly here, it will be lovely to see the pools open. Whilst some of us like the weather to be nice and hot, I know there are lots of kids around Hindmarsh that can’t wait to have a swim and splash with their friends.”

This summer, season passes are available which gives holders unlimited access to all four pools (Nhill, Dimboola, Rainbow and Jeparit) this summer. The season is now due to close on Sunday 20 March 2022.

“Hindmarsh is fortunate to have pools in all our towns. With YMCA managing the pools, it is exciting that this year, if you have purchased a season pass, you can swim at every pool in Hindmarsh at no extra cost! So if you are looking for a school holiday outing, plan a trip to another town, check out the pool and enjoy being a tourist in your own backyard”, continued Melanie.
