The unheated Bendigo pool season is approximately November to March. Pool heating extends the season to approximately October to April. Bendigo's cold winters (frost from May to September) mean pool equipment winterisation is important, proper freeze protection for the pool's hydraulic system should be specified by your Bendigo pool builder.
