The sunny days of the Riverina’s warmer months make swimming an
attractive pastime. Leeton Shire is spoilt for choice with two public
pools as well as a number of swimming spots along the Murrumbidgee
River. See Council's
website for current open hours.
Leeton Swimming Pool
The largest pool in the Shire is located in Palm Avenue and allows
even small children a chance
to swim with both a toddler and a wading pool as well as an
Olympic-sized pool, waterslide and barbecue facilities.
Leeton Swimming pool is open on weekdays, weekends and during the
holidays to the public as well as morning sessions for those eager
swimmers. Occasionally the Leeton Swimming Pool will be closed to the
public due for a swimming carnival; while other times some lanes of the
main pool may also be closed to the public for use by Leeton’s local
Swimming Club members during morning and afternoon opening times.
Call Leeton Swimming Pool on (02) 6953 2087 or visit the facility at
the corner of Palm Avenue and Grevillia Street.
Whitton Swimming Pool
The village of Whitton also has its own local pool, which covers a
distance of 25 metres with six lanes. It also provides a wading pool
and barbeque area for social occasions and family activities.

Other spots
Many folk relax along the Murrumbidgee River at places such as
Coleambally Ski Beach, Middle Beach and Euroley Beach. These are great
places to swim in moving water or indulge in recreational activity
using boats, such as water skiing.
