The Project

The new-look upgrade to the Tumbarumba Swimming Pool Complex includes a 15m x 6.5m learn-to-swim pool, a 4m x 4m baby pool and an 11m x 4m splash zone with water toys. The project also included; the installation of two accessibility chair lift arms, shade sails over the new learn-to-swim and baby pools, new exterior fence, plant equipment shed and solar panels on the roof of the new plant shed to regulate water temperature in the new pools.

This valuable community asset opened to the public in time for the December 2020/January 2021 school holidays to the delight of young families and visitors.

Funding of $928,000 was allocated from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Community Funds Round Two for the upgrade of the water play pool and construction of a new learn-to-swim pool.

    17 February 2021

    On the 20 April 1961 Tumbarumba residents got behind the Council’s project for a swimming pool and turned out for the first working bee. The pool opened a year later and on Friday 12 February 2021, the recent upgrades were officially recognised.

    Mayor James Hayes was joined by Member for Albury Justin Clancy MP, Deputy PM Michael McCormack MP, Member for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain for the unveiling of a commemorative plaque and cake cutting ceremony.

    During the pool’s 60 year life hundreds of children have learnt-to-swim in Tumbarumba and the new facilities provide a fantastic opportunity for many more to gain a skill for life.

    1 September 2020

    Upgrades to Tumbarumba’s swimming pool complex are progressing swimmingly despite recent wet weather.

    Teams completed a significant milestone this week with two major concrete pours, the pool shell and balance tank. Favourable weather conditions over the coming weeks will help to keep works tracking. Further concreting works include additional concourse section and slab for the plant room.

    The new-look pool upgrade includes a learn-to-swim pool, a new baby pool and splash zone with water toys.

    We look forward to opening this fantastic facility the community can enjoy for generations to come.
