Yass and Binalong Memorial Swimming Pools will open for summer on Monday, 31 October.
Both pools will be open every day, except for Christmas Day and Boxing Day, all the way up until 24 March 2023.
Council’s comprehensive program, consisting of stroke correction, competitive swimming, swimming lessons, aqua aerobics and early morning lap swimming, will keep residents active and children safe in and around water.
Patrons can purchase season ticket passes and enrol in swimming lesson programs and aqua aerobic classes ahead of the swimming season via Council’s online portal: yassvalleycouncil.gymmasteronline.com/portal/login
Council’s lifeguards have been busy training during the off-season and are prepared for a busy summer at the pools, but have an important message for parents.
“Your local pool is one of the safest places to swim and have fun, however, parents should always actively supervise their children, no matter how confident they are in the water,” said Director of Infrastructure and Assets, James Dugdell.
“Our lifeguards are trained to act in an emergency, but it’s not their job to keep an eye on everyone in the pool. We also want to avoid an emergency, so ask parents to work with us by following the advice from Royal Life Saving:
0-5 year olds and non-swimmers – stay within arms’ reach. 6-10 year olds and weak swimmers – be close, be prepared and maintain constant visual contact. 11-14 year olds – maintain visual contact.”For more information on how to keep watch at public pools, please visit: https://www.royallifesaving.com.au/Aquatic-Risk-and-Guidelines/safety-programs/child-supervision/keep-watch-at-public-pools
