Swimming Pools

Council's Pools

Council owns and operates pools in Balclutha and Milton.

We also make grants available to various school and community-based pools throughout the district in Beaumont, Clinton, Clutha Valley, Heriot, Owaka, Stirling, Tahakopa, Taieri Beach, Waipahi, Waitahuna, Waitapeka, Waiwera South and West Otago.

Current Level 2 Restrictions

We are changing how we operate once again.

There will be contract tracing and you will need to check in to the building. There will be two ways to do this, via a QR code app, or by a manual log at reception.

Masks are worn except while swimming. Pool staff are not required to wear masks.

There will once again be restrictions on the number of users in the pool at any one time and if busy a swim will be for an hour maximum.

If you want to check out how busy we are before heading down give us a ring on 418 1049.

Please sanitise hands on arrival.

Change rooms will be restricted to 10 users at a time and if possible, please get changed at home.

Equipment will be limited, and at staff discretion depending on the cleaning requirements for each piece.

To allow for deeper cleans at the end of the day we will close at 7:30pm.

Group bookings and activities are currently being reviewed

Please do not come for a swim if you been in close contact with someone with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19. Also do not come for a swim if you are unwell, especially if have a fever, cough, shortness of breath, sneezing or a runny nose, or have underlying health condition that may mean you are extra vulnerable.

Most importantly, follow good handwashing and other hygiene measures.

Please be aware that during this time that the way things are done may still change as we navigate our way through issues, or requirements change.
