Summer is here, so when can you make a splash at the local pool?
If you are in Cardinia, the answer is any time from now until March on days where the forecast temperature exceeds 26C.
However, the opening rules for the shire’s four outdoor pools are a bit different in January.
Throughout January, the pools will be open every day. On days when the forecast is below 26 degrees, they will open from 12pm for a minimum of three hours. If the weather is favourable or the pool is well attended, the pool may remain open for the rest of the day.
