Outdoor pools
Mitchell Shire boasts three seasonal outdoor swimming pools located in Broadford, Tallarook and Seymour.
Opening criteria
Our outdoor pools are open throughout summer when the Bureau of Meteorology forecast the air temperature is 26 degrees or higher. Outdoor pools and splash parks remain open until the Labour Day long weekend in March.
Visit the Mitchell Shire Leisure Services Facebook page for the latest opening times or conditions.
Please be aware that operating hours may vary in response to temperature and patronage once open. Additionally, the pools may close at any time for safety reasons, including dangerous weather conditions.
Entry Fees
Mitchell Shire Council will be providing residents and visitors free entry for casual recreation swimming at our 3 outdoor pools this summer season.
Council will monitor how many people take advantage of the free casual visit to outdoor pools which will help inform the way pools are being used and developed in the future.
Please note user group hire fees, special event entry fees and entry fees to the indoor aquatic facilities will still apply.
Watch Around Water
When you visit a Mitchell Shire outdoor pool, you are responsible for the supervision of your children. As a parent or guardian of:
- children under 5 years old, you must be in the water and within arm’s reach at all times
- children 5 to 10 years old, you must provide direct supervision to them at all times
Our lifeguards are employed on a 1:75 ratio, therefore, it is the responsibility of parents and guardians to provide direct supervision for children.
Unsupervised children of any age will be removed from the water if the lifeguard is concerned for their safety.
