THE Cohuna and Kerang swimming pools will open for the 2022-23 swimming pool season three days later than planned due to forecast cooler conditions.

Initially scheduled to open today at 3pm, the new season will now begin at 3pm on Thursday and end on March 12, 2023.

Both facilities are closed on days the ­Bureau of Meteorology website's forecast temperature for either Cohuna or Kerang is 23 degrees ­Celsius or lower.

Acting chief executive Geoff Rollinson said the extra days would enable staff to put the final touches to both facilities.

The Cohuna and Kerang swimming pools will be open from 3pm to 7pm during ­November, with the traditional summer opening hours of 10am to 8pm coming into effect from December 1 until February 28.

Operating hours will revert to 3pm to 7pm on March 1, with the season to end at 7pm on March 12.
