The Swifts Creek Memorial Pool features a 5 lane 25m outdoor pool as well as a shaded paddle pool for young children. Staffed by volunteers, and is open from mid November - March.
This community funded facility is in urgent need of maintenance and upgrade. The swimming pool and change rooms were constructed on the secondary campus of the
Swifts Creek P-12 School in 1984 solely with local funds.
We are seeking funding of $200,000 for replacement of the change room roof, improvements to floor waste drains, general repairs and upgrade of shower facilities/fittings etc.

The swimming pool has provided all school students and the wider community an opportunity to learn how to swim and it also allows the whole community a place to come together and socialise during the summer months.
These swimming facilities are a huge financial commitment for our community and it has been extremely difficult for us to carryout basic maintenance let alone upgrade these facilities to a modern standard.
The works required would not only provide a far more safe, secure and hygienic environment, but that modernization of these facilities would increase usage and make them more financially viable.

This is one of not many assets the town has still got. The next pool is 1 1/4 h away. There is a river close by, full of snakes and blackberries in summer. The heating of the pool depends on a new roof, which is leaking for years. Kids wouldn't be able to learn to swim if it wasn't for this pool. So vote for it!
