The Victorian Public Pools register has been designed to provide an overview of services, features and safety standards at your local pool facility. The register is a component of the Victorian Government – Safer Pools project and a key element of the Safer Public Pool – Code of Practice, which was jointly developed following Coronial recommendations. Public pools include i) Council, ii) learn to swim and iii) educational facilities.
