Cambrai & Mannum Community College Swimming Pool - Survey 2024 |
Facilities Review – Swimming Pools
As Council works towards improving its financial sustainability, Council is currently considering the future service provision of both the Cambrai and Mannum Pools in the next stage of the facilities review.
Due to the substantial cost of providing these services to the community, Council is considering several alternatives, including rationalisation options. These include, exploring alternative management structures, voluntary staffing, and increased entry fees.
There are many variations, to the options stated in the discussion paper, that could be considered and will be explored through the consultation process.
The Swimming Pools
The Cambrai Pool is owned and operated by Mid Murray Council.
The Cambrai Pool is owned and operated by Mid Murray Council.
The Pool was built in 1962 and funded by the community who raised money to keep it running until the mid-1970’s when it was leased to the former Cambrai Area School. Eventually the care and control of the Pool was returned to Council who has operated it in the interest of the community since.
The Mannum Community College Pool is owned by the Department for Education and Child Development, with Council responsible for operations and staffing outside of school hours to enable community public use.
Current Service Levels:
During the 2023/2024 season Council operated both pools from 1 December until 3 March, with two lifeguards each, opening between 3.30pm to 7.30pm when forecast was above 25 degrees on the following days:
- Cambrai – Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday
- Mannum – Monday, Thursday, Saturday
