Corowa Aquatic Centre to celebrate its first birthday
Published on 01 April 2022
More than 33,000 admissions have been recorded at the Corowa Aquatic Centre since it opened its door in April last year.
The $10.2 million dollar facility is set to celebrate its first birthday in April and patronage as well as memories created over this time are set to be a highlight of planned celebrations.
The regional significant facility features a 50m pool set within the picturesque Ball Park Precinct, a 25m indoor pool, indoor program pool, kids’ splashpark and café.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Pat Bourke said the centre has offered residents and visitors to the Federation Region many ways to have fun, relax or achieve fitness goals.
“You know what they say, time really flies by when you are having fun and I know there has been plenty of fun over the course of the last 12 months at the Corowa Aquatic Centre,” he said.
“Our patronage numbers prove that this investment in quality infrastructure has been an overwhelming achievement to improve the health and wellbeing of our community. The Corowa Aquatic Centre is undoubtedly a drawcard for our region and made Federation Council an even greater place to live and visit.”
Federation Council’s Duty Officer of Public Pools, Jo Laws said the team had been doing quite a bit of reflection in the lead up to the centre’s first birthday and everyone was feeling incredibly proud of what has been achieved.
“To think that we are approaching our first birthday is just incredible,” Ms Laws said.
“It feels like just yesterday that we opened the doors to the centre for the very first time and now I look at where we are and it is such a credit not only to our amazing team, but all our patrons who make our centre an inclusive and fun place for all.”
The Corowa Aquatic Centre welcomes over 400 children weekly to participate in their Learn to Swim Program which has been one of the most successful programs launched by the centre to date.
Ms Laws said watching the centre’s youngest swimmers further grow their skills and confidence in the water over he last 12 months had been amazing.
“Teaching your child or yourself to swim is one of the most important decisions you will make in life and our Corowa Aquatic Centre team is committed to promoting fun and enjoyment of all things water for swimmers of all abilities. We know with what we have already achieved and have planned for the future, that this is just the beginning of great things for our centre.”
The Corowa Aquatic Centre team is looking forward to our one year birthday celebration on Monday, April 25 which is the ANZAC Day public holiday. As the centre will be closed on this day we will celebrate our birthday on Tuesday, April 26.
We invite all our patrons to drop by on the day to celebrate with us and enjoy a piece of birthday cake.
