Swimming pools
Indigo Shire Council operates five outdoor swimming pools throughout the municipality, located at Beechworth, Tangambalanga, Yackandandah, Rutherglen and Chiltern.
These swimming pools provide residents of all ages the opportunity to enjoy social contact, participate in recreational activities such as swimming, water sports and exercise while at the same time being instrumental in the promotion and education of water safety.
All of the pools have qualified lifeguards on duty during open hours.
The 2012/2013 swimming season starts on Saturday 17 November 2012 with all five pools expected to close on Monday 11 March 2013 (Labour Day).
If the temperature reaches 35 degrees or more, the pools will stay open until 8.30pm provided there are more than 10 people at the pool. Similarly, if the temperature only reaches 20 degrees or less, the pools will close at 6pm if there are fewer than five people at the pool.
