Get ready to dive back in!

The wait is over! After a few weeks closed, the Cooktown Swimming Pool is getting ready to welcome the community back — and what better way to reopen than with a BIG day of free fun!

From 10am to 4.30pm, pool entry is FREE, so there’s no better excuse to pack the swimmers, round up the family and make a day of it.

The Open Day activities will run from 10am to 2pm, with plenty of free fun happening throughout the day, plus free food and drinks while supplies last.

A pool day for the whole community.
Whether you’re keen to be among the first people back in the water, bringing the kids along for some holiday-style fun, meeting up with mates or simply wanting to see the pool back in action, everyone is welcome to join the celebrations.

After a few weeks away, this is more than just another day at the pool — it’s a chance for the Cooktown community to come together and celebrate the reopening of a place where people swim, play, relax, socialise and make memories.
