The Dowerin Memorial Swimming Pool is excited to promote an upcoming swimming event hosted by the Dowerin Amateur Swimming Club. Located on the edge of the Recreation Grounds on Memorial Avenue, our swimming pool offers a fantastic 50-meter facility with lush grassed surrounds. Not only that, but we also provide a range of amenities, including a well-stocked kiosk, a playground for the little ones, and BBQ facilities for those seeking a delicious post-swim feast.
From November to March each year, our pool is open to the public, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the water and soak up the sun. We welcome swimmers of all ages and abilities to come and make a splash! Please note that our operating hours are from 12 noon to 7 pm every day, except Tuesdays. In addition, we offer early morning lap swimming sessions every Monday and Thursday from 6 am to 7 am for the early birds who want to start their day with a refreshing dip.
During the school terms, the Dowerin Memorial Swimming Pool partners with the Dowerin Amateur Swimming Club for their time trials, which take place on Thursday afternoons. As a result, the pool will be closed to the public between 3:15 pm and 5 pm. We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this time but rest assured, we are committed to supporting our local swimming club.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of a group of local business owners and individuals, entry into the Dowerin Memorial Pool is currently free for the rest of the 2023/2024 season! So grab your swimsuits, gather your family and friends, and head down to the pool for some fun in the water.
For those who plan to visit frequently, we offer a range of entry fee options. If you choose to purchase your entry at our kiosk, it is priced at $4.00 for adults and $2.00 for children per visit. Alternatively, you can opt for our season tickets, which need to be purchased from the Shire Administration office. Family season tickets for 2 adults and up to 4 children are available for $140.00. If you prefer a half-season ticket, valid from the 1st of January each year, we offer a family option for $70.00 and a single option for $40.00.
Now, let's talk about the Dowerin Amateur Swimming Club. Their motto is “participation and personal improvement,” and that's exactly what they strive to achieve. You can join them for their club meets, which take place every Monday and Thursday afternoon at 3:30 pm. The focus of these meets is not on winning, but on individuals bettering their own times week after week. The club places a strong emphasis on sportsmanship and fosters a genuine desire for personal development in each of its members.
So, if you're looking for a place to swim, have fun, and challenge yourself, the Dowerin Memorial Swimming Pool and the Dowerin Amateur Swimming Club are here to welcome you. Come on down and dive into an unforgettable swimming experience!
