Start spring with a splash

- Article supplied.

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. The Dave Hume heated pools season opened on Saturday 26th September and during school holidays, will be open from 6am to 5.45pm Monday to Friday. Lane swimmers/lane walkers will have the pool from 6 to 10am, although from 10am we will still have a couple of lanes available.

During school terms, the pool will be open from 6 to 9am Monday-Friday for lane swimmers/lane walkers as well as from 11am to 5.45pm on weekends. However, the schools’ use of the pool means the times available for public use between 11am and 3pm varies. Please check the swim schedule at the pool or online for actual times.

When the main pool is being used by a school, the learners’ pool will only be available for the learn to swim lessons by Evolution Aquatics.

For those with some form of disability, we have large steps we can put into the pool to help you into and out of the main pool. Just ask the staff to put them in for you.

Both pools are tap water, heated by a hot water bore. The main pool sits at about 26 to 27 degrees and the small pool is generally between 30 and 32 degrees.

The venue is an excellent place for a picnic, with a grass bank, trees and artificial shade and of course an inviting pool of water to play in.

There is a gas BBQ that can be hired for $5. Contact the pool office to book it. It is ideal for birthday parties at the pool.

Evolution Aquatics are running the learn to swim lessons. They have a programme for school holidays and also term four. Note that no other paid coaching will be permitted at the pool, other than by family.

EFTPoS/Paywave and 10/20 swim concession/season tickets available – see www.davehumepo­olkk.com or call on 549 1069 for entry costs and pool informatio­n.
