Published on 13 November 2023

The Cohuna and Kerang outdoor swimming pools are now open for the 2023/24 season.

Both facilities, managed by Gannawarra Shire Council, opened at 3pm today, with the venues to operate from 3pm to 7pm during the remainder of November.

“It is fantastic to welcome people back to the Cohuna and Kerang swimming pools, especially with the hot weather we have experienced during early November,” Council Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Rollinson said.

“Our dedicated group of outdoor swimming pool lifeguard are looking forward to what will be a busy season, with many programs including Morning Laps, community functions, school swimming lessons and swim club events expected to be popular over the summer months.”

The traditional summer opening hours of 10am-8pm will come into effect from Friday, 1 December and be in place until Thursday, 29 February 2024.

Operating hours will revert to 3pm to 7pm Friday, 1 March 2024, with the season to end at 7pm on Sunday, 10 March 2024.

“Residents are advised that the Cohuna and Kerang swimming pools will be closed on days the Bureau of Meteorology website’s forecast temperature for either Cohuna or Kerang is 23 degrees Celsius or lower,” Mr Rollinson said.

“Any changes to opening times, including during instances of inclement weather, will be publicised via Council’s Facebook page.”

Season passes are available to purchase from the Cohuna and Kerang Customer Service Centres, or from either pool during the season.
