Adaminaby Pool: Season dates announced and volunteer lifeguards sought
Published on 24 September 2025
Following a collaborative planning session with Council and the Adaminaby community last month, Adaminaby Pool will open for a 15-week season from Saturday 6 December 2025. Applications for the trial volunteer lifeguard program proposed by the community at the August session are also open from today.
With a later season end date of Sunday 22 March 2026, swimmers and families in Adaminaby will be able to enjoy the warmer early-autumn weather at their local pool for the first time – thanks to direct feedback from locals.
Based on the advice of our partners in the Adaminaby community, Council has implemented new opening hours for 2025/26:
- Monday to Friday – 2pm to 7pm
- Saturday and Sunday – 11am to 7pm
- Public Holidays (except Christmas Day) – 11am to 7pm
Expanded opening days and hours this season will rely on the trial volunteer lifeguard program, made possible thanks to generous and civic-minded locals who have put up their hands to donate their time for the benefit of their community.
Working together with paid lifeguards and other Council pool staff, these community volunteers will allow Adaminaby Pool to open for the additional time each day this season. Hours may need to be reduced at times when volunteers are unavailable.
Applications are open now for volunteers, ahead of a free Council-funded training session at Jindabyne Pool on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October 2025.
Council is covering the cost of all training and certification costs for volunteers.
Apply to be a volunteer lifeguard today and give back to your community while enjoying the warmer weather by the pool. Visit https://qrco.de/PoolVolunteers to apply online, or pick up an application form from your nearest Council office.
