AT a Public Meeting convened by the Wodonga Shire President on 22nd February 1955 a committee was formed by the very large gathering present "to build a Swimming and Wading Pool in Wodonga to 165' x 60' size to Public Works Specifications." This committee was named the Wodonga Swimming Pool Construction Committee. After four years of hard work and voluntary labour members of this Committee officially handed over the project on behalf of the public of Wodonga to the Construction Authority, the Wodonga Shire Council. The concrete pool structures were built by Contractor Mr. R. Baring, but a great deal of the work in excavating and generally preparing the area was carried out by voluntary labour. All 30,000 foam cement bricks used in the buildings were made by working bees, a large portion of the materials required were donated and most of the cartage of these materials was voluntary as well as £6,000 being raised in appeals. The Stanley Street Pool in Wodonga officially closed on 7th April 2012 and was demolished the following year.This item is significant because it records the Official Opening of the first swimming pool in Stanley Street Wodonga which was built by volunteers for the community.A programme produced for the Official Opening of the Wodonga Swimming Pool on 12th December 1959. It features a photograph of the Swimming Pool on the front.stanley street swimming pool, wodonga swimming pool

The Hepburn Pool was built in Spring Creek during the 1930s by the Zelman's of Bellinzona Guest House. Alberto Zelman's paid for local workers to construct the pool to their specifications so the visitors to local guest houses could swim on hot days. The Hepburn Pool was used for the Victorian Swimming Championships, with 6 stones marked at one end for each lane . It is 50 yards long, the length required for competitions. In 1969 the Daylesford Olympic Swimming Pool was constructed so this 'old swimming pool' was neglected, fortunately in 1993 local volunteers associated with the Savoia Hotel returned the pool to its former glory with the help of old photos and a lot of hard work. Two well known swimmers swam at the pool in the Victorian swimming Championships, they were Annette Kellerman and Frank Beaurepaire. The Pool was named Victoria's Favourite Built Place in 2004 as part of the Victorian Government's involvement in the International Year of the Built Environment. It was included on the Victorian Heritage Register following a nomination and comparative analysis of pre Olympic Swimming Pools in Victoria by Lisa Gervasoni.Black and white imageof the Hepburn Pool in Spring Creek, with spectators on the hill. hepburn springs swimming pool, hepburn springs, hepburn pool, pre-olympic swimming pools, albert zelman, bellinzona, pre-0lympic swimming pool
