Cool FUN at the Molong Swimming Pool

Can you swim 6 laps of the Molong pool in 6 minutes or less?

Would you like to provide a community service? Looking for casual/part-time work during the summer months?

Consider becoming a qualified pool lifeguard. For the Molong pool to be open to the public when the schools and universities are in term time more pool lifeguards will be required in coming seasons.

Currently the majority of qualified lifeguards available for the Molong pool are school or uni students so are only available outside school & uni hours which means the pool may not be able to open from 10.30am every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Fridays during term time.

If you can swim 200 metres in under 6 minutes and swim 25 metres “rescue” a person and return with them you could train as a Pool Lifeguard via Royal Life Saving NSW.

Some of the course is on-line which is completed before a 2 day “in person” course (the next local one is Orange on 24-25 March), a current HLTAID011 First Aid Certificate is also required.

There is no reason that pool lifeguards have to be young. So retiree’s, part-time workers, parents looking for work during school hours this could be an opportunity to provide a community service and be paid for it.

The hours are on a casual basis so Belinda Mills, the Cabonne Council pool supervisor, is prepared to roster to suit individuals. Belinda can be contacted at Council phone 6392 3200 for more information about working as a lifeguard at the local pools and the required training.

We have a fabulous pool in Molong so lets do our bit to ensure it is open as much as possible during the season.

Well done to Cabonne Council and Manager, Belinda Mills who have the ‘pool’ looking fantastic for this year’s season. The Express headed down for a cool splash recently during the school holidays and loved the fun that local families

(and swimming groups) were having. Generations of local families have loved ‘the pool’ which has been a great source of ‘something to do’ during the long hot summers.
