If you are looking to take a dip in Jamberoo Pool over the winter, don't bother.

And that goes for you ducks too.

Kiama Council has installed off-season covers at Jamberoo Pool, to reduce the clean-up costs when the pool opens each summer.

The 25-metre main pool and toddler pool are usually left uncovered over the off-season.

However, leaf litter, other debris and a significant number of local ducks have added to the time, effort, equipment and chemicals required to get the pools spick and span each summer.

Council has invested $14,140 to have two pool covers and a roller installed, to prevent leaves and other debris.

The covers are also designed to dissuade the ducks, as they sit above the waterline.

Hopefully they stay away all winter long.
