New Kerang Exercise Pool Brochure
Media Release
A new brochure has been released promoting the Kerang Exercise Pool as a year round facility available to support the health and wellbeing of all community members.
The pool located in Patchell Plaza Kerang is open five days each week and is a popular location for parents with young children learning to swim, group exercise sessions, injury recovery, and for older people wishing to maintain strength and mobility.
Mayor Brian Gibson said that the Kerang Exercise Pool is a fantastic asset to have located within the Gannawarra Shire.
“The pool has recently undergone a major upgrade to the water heating system and is a popular facility both for residents from across the Gannawarra Shire as well as people from other areas who travel to Kerang to use the pool,” said Mayor Gibson.
“Over the past twelve months there has been almost 5,000 people use the Kerang Exercise Pool, an average of 20 people per opening day.” While the pool is well used by older members of the community, Council also employs a qualified and experienced Austswin Instructor and Lifeguard to support Learn to Swim classes for children aged from 6 months to 7 years.
“We know that swimming is such an important skill for children to learn early in life,” said Mayor Gibson.
“Living in an environment with so many natural lakes, rivers and irrigation systems it is so important for children to acquire the skills they need to stay safe around water.”
The new brochure promotes the Kerang Exercise Pool’s warm water as a way of supporting muscle strength and endurance, for injury prevention and recovery as well as providing an alternative activity to maintain an active lifestyle.

Copies of the new brochure are available from Council’s customer service centres in Kerang and Cohuna or from the Kerang Exercise Pool office in Patchell Plaza Kerang.
