Noosa Aquatic Centre celebrates 25 years

Tim Wilson (Coordinator of NAC), Tony Frost (President of the 50m pool community committee, he lead the charge for the 50m pool to become a reality), Rita Montague (Learn to Swim Supervisor and longest serving full time staff member - 25 years).

Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC) turns 25 on Wednesday 1 May 2024 and members are invited to join the party, with balloons and free water bottles on the day.

Patrons can also enjoy free entry to the pools for general swimming on the day.

NAC Coordinator Tim Wilson said there was much to celebrate on the NAC’s 25th anniversary, with the facility having been home to numerous Olympians over the years.

“So far our swim squads have coached six Olympians,” Mr Wilson said.

“Celebrating this 25-year milestone is an important stop on our journey, to recognise how far we have come and what we have succeeded in achieving.

“If not for those who dreamed and believed in a NAC vision – if not for their foresight, passion and collective wisdom – we would not be here enjoying this community triumph today.”

Since opening its doors on 1 May 1999 the NAC has trained 51,913 swim squad members, taught 23,500 learn-to-swim students, hosted over 4 million visitors.

“In that time we’ve also sold 53,000 pairs of goggles and 11,000 swim caps and hosted 12,000 birthday parties,” Mr Wilson said.

“Locals growing up in Noosa have been fortunate to have access to the centre for learn-to-swim lessons, recreational swimming and coaching.

“In celebration of our 25 years, we’re pleased to launch an off-peak special offer,” Mr Wilson said.

A 10-visit swim pass is available for $40, and a 10-visit off peak special for squad sessions is on offer for $70 from 1 May to 30 September.
