History
The Wickepin Pool was officially opened on 27 December 1979. The Wickepin Lions club had been fundraising for six years, and raised $30,000 towards the finance of the project. The fundraising endeavours included shearing, burns, donations, cabarets, a d picketing the weighbridge. The pool was actually completed in time for a school swimming carnival on 27 March 1979, where children from Wickepin, Yealering and Tincurrin Schools competed. In October 1987 leaks were detected in the pool. The pool provided a very welcome recreation facility in the town, and annual vacation swimming lessons, and in-term swimming lessons have improved the swimming abilities of the children in the district.
