Queenstown Lakes District Council has opened Arrowtown’s much-loved outdoor swimming pool for the summer season.

Opened last Saturday with a community fun day, Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) Sport and Recreation Manager, Simon Battrick commented “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.”

Battrick noted “QLDC memberships offering unlimited access and big savings for regular swimmers (and) both the main and toddler pools are heated which means even early-season swimmers can enjoy water at a target temperature of 27 degrees.”

A full list of entry prices, online membership registration, and a daily timetable showing aquatic programmes, special events, group bookings and which lanes are reserved for public swimming are available on the QLDC website.

The website also includes the latest information regarding special events and unexpected changes.

Arrowtown Memorial Pool will remain open until Friday 1st March 2024.
