Swimming pools

Council operates three pools, a dedicated toddler pool and a splash park during summer.

The pool season runs from the first weekend in December (Saturday, 3 December) until the long weekend in March, and it's free entry. The pools are closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Pool opening hours are:
  • Weekends – 2-6pm
  • Weekdays during school term - 3-7pm
  • Weekdays during school holidays - 2-6pm

Creswick Splash Park - 9am – 9pm

Council operates a weather policy at the pools. This means Trentham and Daylesford pools open on days predicted to be 21+ degrees based on the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) predictions for Ballarat. Clunes Pool opens on days predicted to be 21+ degrees based on BOM predictions for Bendigo.
 
Changes to the planned hours will be advertised on Council’s Facebook page.
 
We’re really keen to have more people join our Lifeguard team to give our community the best opportunity to cool off over summer. Visit our job vacancies section for more information.
