ESTEVAN - Access Communications Co-operative has announced its purchase of the naming rights of the Estevan Leisure Centre's swimming pool, which will be known as the Access Communications Aquatic Centre (ACAC).
“Access is proud to partner with the City of Estevan for the Access Communications Aquatic Centre,” said Access president and CEO Carmela Haines. "Our sponsorship reflects our ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of those in the communities we serve. Community is at the heart of our co-operative and we’re thrilled about this partnership.”
Access said the pool is a focal point for the community, offering programming for all ages, including surf & swim, lane swims, adult independent swimming and Aquafit classes.
It is the home of the Estevan Sharks water polo, Estevan Golden Eels summer speed swimming, and the Estevan Mermaids synchronized swimming organizations. The Starfish Aquatics swimming lessons program is at the pool.
Birthday party bookings and Wibit Pool Track also happen at the pool.
“The City of Estevan and the Estevan Leisure Centre team is pleased to welcome this partnership with Access Communications,” said leisure services manager Erin Wilson. “Sponsorships like these assist us in continuing to be able to provide a facility and programming that welcomes patrons of all ages and supports our community’s needs.”
To celebrate the partnership, Access is hosting a free swim day at the aquatic centre on Oct. 26 from 1-5 p.m. Entry is on a first-come basis.
Access said it will be giving away juice, cookies and Access merchandise. It will also be drawing for a prize basket that includes an Amazon Firestick.
