ONLY two weeks away until the official start of summer and Greater Shepparton’s rural outdoor pools in Tatura, Mooroopna, and Merrigum will be officially opened this Saturday, November 20 at 1pm.

Greater Shepparton City Council manager active living, David Booth said staff have been working hard over the winter months to prepare the pools for a busy summer, ensuring they are a great place to cool down and have fun.

“All the pools are looking fantastic, and we anticipate a big outdoor pool season following the easing of restrictions.”

“Major capital works to the filtration and circulation system at Merrigum have been completed, while works continue at the Tatura pool and the opening of this facility may vary subject to the completion of those works,” Mr Booth said.

“There will be plenty happening over summer, with new giant inflatables recently delivered and a variety of water games planned.

Our popular aqua aerobics and early morning swimming are also returning, and I can’t forget to mention our affordable, family-friendly seasonal pool membership passes, which can be used at all three pools.”

Council advises residents to contact their local pool for opening times and be aware that these could change, depending on weather conditions. Extended operating hours will come into play from Thursday, December 23, 2021.

The pools will remain open until the second weekend in March, with the final day of the Rural Outdoor Pool Season set for Monday, March 14, 2022.
