The indoor and outdoor pools at Aquamoves in Shepparton, however, are still some weeks away from reopening due to damage from the recent flood.
Greater Shepparton City Council active living manager David Booth said the rural pools provided an ideal alternative for those Shepparton residents wanting to swim.
Mr Booth said time spent at the outdoor pools over summer was a much-loved tradition for many families and individuals in Greater Shepparton.
“Cherished childhood memories are made at the local outdoor pools over summer, with families and friends making the most of the opportunity to connect and enjoy one another’s company,” he said.
“We are lucky to have such great facilities in our rural towns.
“I encourage people in our small towns, as well as those in Shepparton, to make the most of these important community facilities.
“Whether you want to do some laps or just have fun, including taking the family out to the Merrigum Splash Park, the pools provide a safe family environment for a refreshing cool off.”
Council is also offering an all new summer family pool membership with access to all three rural pools, plus the indoor and outdoor pools and Splash Park at Aqamoves — once they are reopened.
The membership is available for $295 and can be used by a group of five people over five months.
Terms and conditions apply, with the option to add more people to the membership at an additional cost.
The rural outdoor pools will remain open until the second weekend in March, with the final day of the outdoor pool season on Sunday, March 12.
