Books and water normally don’t mix, but they will this summer at Rhyme Time at Werribee Outdoor Pool.

Held at Werribee Outdoor Pool at Chirnside Park, Rhyme Time at the Pool is a free event for families with children aged 1 to 5 years old.

The next session is on Monday December 11 from 10am to 11am and parents are encouraged bring their children and stay all day at the pool.

The Wyndham Pop-Up Library Van will be there so people can borrow or return books in between having a swim.

“It’s a fun way for our youngest residents to get involved in learning by participating in sessions featuring songs, stories and rhymes, designed to develop early language, numeracy and literacy skills,” said a Wyndham council spokesperson.

“Make the most of the warm weather and have a splash in the pool. Swimming is free for children and one accompanying adult who come along to

Rhyme Time. Bookings are not required.”

Additional Rhyme Time sessions will also be held in the new year, on Monday January 8, Monday January 15 and Monday January 22.
