Buloke Shire Council owns and operates seven outdoor aquatic facilities which provide swimming opportunities throughout the Buloke community. Each facility offers to the community a main pool, toddler/baby pool, change/shower facilities, poolside seating and shade options. These swimming pools provide residents of all ages the opportunity to enjoy social contact, participate in recreational activities such as swimming, water sports and exercise whilst at the same time being instrumental in the promotion and education of water safety.
The 2020-21 season has concluded.

Our pools will again be available for out-of-hours hire. You can find the pool hire agreement form here.
Pool hire bookings will not be confirmed with Council until pool hirers satisfy the requirements and supply associated documentation as outlined in the agreement. All applications for bookings must be made to Council at least seven days in advance of your planned activity. We cannot guarantee your booking if your application is made less than 7 days from your intended activity. We therefore strongly encourage all hirers to arrange their pool hire forms at least 7 days advance to ensure your booking is confirmed in time for your planned activity. Please be sure to read the form carefully to ensure you have included all relevant documentation before submitting your booking request.
In addition to the pool hire agreement form, this year all pool hirers will be required to submit a COVID Safe plan before their booking is confirmed. Resources on how to prepare your COVID safe plan can be found here: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/covidsafe-plan
As part of your COVID Safe Plan, hirers are to state how they will ensure they satisfy appropriate cleaning of the facility after use in line with the DHHS guidelines.
All booking forms and associated documents should be sent to buloke@buloke.vic.gov.au and marked attention to Team Leader Pool Operations.
