Dave Hume Heated Swimming Pools
It has two pools, both are heated. The main pool is about 26-27 degrees (although on a hot day it can get to 29 degrees). The leaner's pool is normally about 31 degrees but is can vary from 28 to 34 degrees depending on weather.
The water is tap water that is heated from a hot water bore, using a heat exchange.
The main pool is 33.5 m x 6 lanes wide. It's deepest end (at the entrance end of the pool) is 1.14m and the shallow end is 0.94m.
The small pool is 10m x 8m and is approx 0.8m deep. It also has a shade sail over part of it.
The grassed bank is ideal for a family picnic or just watching the pool.
There is a permanent BBQ available for hire for $5 / hot plate
