Marking its first birthday last week, Federation Council has advised that its Corowa Aquatic Centre has recorded more than 33,000 admissions since opening, with numbers expected to continue to grow in the thousands throughout the course of the next year.

Opened to the public in April last year, the $10.2 million dollar facility regional significant facility features a 50 metre pool in theBall Park Precinct, a 25 metre indoor pool, indoor program pool, childrens’ splashpark and café.

Advising that the Centre has offered residents and visitors to the Federation Region many ways to have fun, relax or achieve fitness goals, Federation Council Mayor, Pat Bourke advised "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.

“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 were so proud to celebrate the centre’s first birthday, noting "we have so many amazing community members that utilise this facility, and for some of them it really has been life changing.

“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.

Advising that watching the Centre’s youngest swimmers further grow their skills and confidence in the water over he last 12 months had been amazing. Laws added "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.”

As part of its one year anniversary celebrations, the Centre is offering any new members joining on or after the 1st year anniversary a special incentive. If they join as an annual member they receive a $10 voucher or if they join as a seasonal member they receive a $5 voucher to spend in the Centre.
