THE Tewantin Pool is open again with local business Cowan Taylor Aquatics confirming on Monday 4 July they have taken over the lease.
In May, Tewantin State School principal Corrie Conners said the operating costs of the pool weren’t being met, and opened the pool lease for tender.
Business owners Andrew Cowan and Georgina Taylor are currently running the Cooroy (NDSHS) Pool and have expanded their business to include the Tewantin Pool.
“We have so much to offer the local community and are excited to get started,” they said.
“When Tewantin came up, we thought what a great opportunity for us to expand.”
Andrew and Georgina will be offering Learn to Swim, Squads, Adult Squads, Aqua Aerobics, General Lap and recreation use at the pool.
“In all of the programs we offer, Cowan Taylor Aquatics caters for all ages and abilities. We love to see the parents getting involved in swimming as much as the kids,” they said.
“Our Aqua Aerobics and squads have already begun, so come on down and meet the team.”
Over the holidays, the Tewantin Pool will be open from 3pm to 6pm Monday to Friday and 5.30am to 9am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
Georgina said they were excited to have the new lease.
“From what we can tell, the Tewantin Pool is a really well supported community facility, and we are looking to continue to grow with the community and make the Tewantin Pool a thriving community hub again,” she said.
“We love to see everyone enjoying swimming; it is an important life skill and it is one of the few sports you can do your whole life.”
