To provide a cost-effective heated pool in a venue that can be utilised twelve months a year for the health, wellbeing, and safety of all Murrindindi residents.
This will give our communities the opportunity to participate in group and personalised water activities and swimming lessons for all ages.
This may include and is not limited to physical therapy, water aerobics, water yoga and scuba diving lessons.
This project came about from a community meeting in 2015 when a local facility was no longer available. A group of parents decided to solve the challenge by researching options and holding community consultations.
This will benefit the community by providing learning to swim classes for all children in our region and enabling our elderly citizens of all abilities with an opportunity to engage in health and wellness by way of water therapy. Our residents currently have to travel more than 2 hours to access valuable therapy. Our children only have access to seasonal pools for Learn to Swim programs and many currently travel outside the region to access water safety programs in the winter months. Many parents choose not to participate in Learn to Swim due to the distance needed to access programs.

Would be a great addition to local facilities
Just do it !
Great edition to Alex
A all-year-use building would be a great addition to health and fitness for all ages.
It would be a great asset for all
Swimming is an activity used by health practitioners everywhere to promote good physical and mental health, restoration of function, and social interaction in their clients. As for teaching children to swim throughout the year, that's just pure common sense and because of our geographical position, heated pools in other towns are beyond the reach of most families budgets. This will be a fantastic asset to the Alexandra community.
Our community really needs this, it would be beneficial and well used by people of all ages. fingers crossed!
This would be amazing and save time and petrol for all the winter swimmers who travel to other heated pools
The pool will be a valuable asset to the community.
A fabulous facility for Alexandra. Only wish it was long enough for lap swimming.
As an older person with a disability this would be ideal for me personally as well as many others in our local and surrounding community
We really need to have this pool for so many and varied reasons.
How long will the pool be? Would be amazing to be also able to lap swim in winter months.
An indoor pool would be very well used by diverse groups in Alexandra and close by small towns
With the only access to aquatic activities available in the summer months, the Alexandra community desperately requires a year round heated pool to cater for all age groups: ranging from learn to swim classes for the young to therapy sessions for the elderly.
Learn to Swim lessons are essential in every community including rural areas. It is a life skill. The benifits for the community are huge, which include excercise for the elderly & disabled, people recuperating from surgery, as well as learning to swim. Our community needs this facility.
Our community would benefit immensely having such a wonderful facility available for all age groups. Currently people drive some distance to have the use of a heated pool for their children to get swimming lessons in. Then you have the implementing of exercise routines into the facility for all age groups also. Being a heated pool those with arthritis and bad knee and hip joints would gain a lot from water exercise classes but the water has to be warm. Here in Alexandra we cater for all surrounding towns so this facility would be used all year round. With the primary schools also in all the surrounding towns and kindergartens plus play groups there would be the option of conducting swimming lessons and swimming programs all year round not just in summer when the outdoor pool is open.
I believe the above project could benefit both the young and especially the older generation with exercise through water aerobics .
Beneficial for whole community from "Learn to Swim" to "Water Aerobics" and "Water Therapy"
Hopeful.
Needed for exercises
With a high proportion of older residents this would be very beneficial for their long term health and well being.
Support the idea but wonder if budget is accurate

This is something that would benefit all age groups not just a selective few
