Bundanoon Pool still closed to swimmers
Bundanoon residents have been left wondering when the town’s swimming pool will open for the 2026/27 season.
Bundanoon residents have been left wondering when the town’s swimming pool will open for the 2026/27 season.
The pool was scheduled to open on November 7 but the opening was initially delayed until November 9.
Residents are now being advised that the opening has been delayed further due to ‘unforseen plant issues’ – but no re-opening date has been given.
A message on Wingecarribee Shire Council’s website simply reads: ‘Due to unforeseen plant issues, the opening of the Bundanoon Swimming Centre has been delayed. A new opening date will be announced as soon as it is confirmed. Thank you for your patience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.’
The latest update posted earlier today (Wednesday) on the Bundanoon Swimming Pool’s Facebook page provides a little more detail.
It says steps are being taken to resolve plant issues affecting the pool and as part of these works the pool is being emptied and refilled “to support the safe return to normal operations”.
It says a further update will be provided “as soon as more information on the opening date is available”.
It suggests those people wanting a swim travel to the Moss Vale War Memorial Aquatic Centre or the Bowral Swimming Centre “as alternative options”.
Members of the Bundanoon Swimming Club are amongst those keeping their fingers and toes crossed that the pool will be re-opened sooner rather than later.
The club’s 2026/27 season was scheduled to start on November 9 but members are now hoping it will kick off on Wednesday, November 18 instead.
At least some people see the funny side of it.
Facebook user Paul Spicer commented: “Bowral Pool has been reopened for a month! But it’s OK, with a bit more rain we’ll just be able to swim in our potholes”.
All three aquatic facilities in the Wingecarribee Shire are operated by Belgravia Leisure.
