Bellingen and Dorrigo pools open for summer season

Key points

• Bellingen and Dorrigo pools have reopened for the 2026-27 summer season. Lane markings and pool furniture have been refreshed, and season passes, casual entry, coaching, squad programs and aqua-fit are available.
• The centres are recruiting learn-to-swim instructors, with free training courses in October and November. Bellingen Shire Council Mayor Steve Allan said the Bellingen pool will run for the full season after a delayed start last year.
• New amenity buildings, showers, toilets and a Changing Places facility are also open.
