A jewel in Naracoorte’s recreation crown is the man-made Naracoorte Swimming Lake, located on Moore Street.

Open from 1 December until 31 March, it is one of the largest swimming pools you will ever see and entry is free.

The sheltered and gently sloping sandy shoreline is one of Australia’s safest inland beaches. Relax on the sandy shoreline, swim some laps in the 50 metre lane-marked area, or just sit in the shade of the many beautiful gum trees on the surrounding lawns.

It's the perfect place to cool off on a hot Summer day!

The Lake ranges from 1m to 2m deep in the middle of the pool. It is seven times the size of an Olympic Swimming Pool. There are shallow sections for the littlies, deeper sections for lane swimming, a diving pontoon and an enclosed children's area. The shaded ankle deep section is the perfect place for toddlers to splash around, and the sandy beach is perfect for kids to build sandcastles.

There is a playground and BBQ nearby and a small kiosk if you don't want to pack your own lunch.
