Arrowtown's outdoor pool opens with a splash tomorrow

Arrowtown’s outdoor swimming pool opens for another season tomorrow, with a community fun day.

Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) is hosting the event from 11am. 

“There’ll be relay races, spot prizes to be won and a sausage sizzle run by Arrowtown Swim Club.

“The power issues that cut last season short have been resolved. We’re expecting a full season and keeping fingers and toes crossed for great weather all summer long,” QLDC Sport and Recreation Manager Simon Battrick sAYS.

“It’ll be a great way to celebrate the start of summer.

“Opening the gates to Arrowtown Memorial Pool means the long holidays are just around the corner.

“For many locals it marks the real start of summer so head down on opening day for a swim or a splash. You can also find out more about your local club – signing up is a great way to make the most of the season and show your support,” he said.

“QLDC memberships offering unlimited access and big savings for regular swimmers are available online now, and you’ll also be able to buy them at the pool once we open.”

“Both the main and toddler pools are heated which means even early-season swimmers can enjoy water at a target temperature of 27 degrees.”
