After making its mark as an innovative online pool-sharing platform, Swimply has made its way to the tennis court by offering affordable private tennis court rentals.
Swimply’s new service is initially offered in New South Wales and Victoria, providing an affordable alternative for tennis players who might find it daunting to practise on public courts due to the presence of skilled players and coaches, not to mention the long waiting times to book a court.
Swimply offers a wide range of options for players to find and book private tennis courts starting from $18 per hour.
“Cost and difficulty of finding access to courts has been a major barrier for many players,” Swimply CEO, Bunim Laskin, said. “With our launch into tennis, we’re thrilled to be able to provide Australians with an affordable and easy way to access these facilities, while also helping homeowners to monetise their underutilised assets.
Swimply Australia Managing Director, Sam McDonagh, emphasised the fact that Australians love tennis and that by capturing two per cent of the private courts in Australia on the platform, they will be able to disproportionately positively impact the number of accessible courts by 10 per cent.
“As a tennis fanatic, I’m delighted to see Swimply launch tennis courts,” Darren McMullen, television personality and Swimply brand ambassador, said. “I play tennis rain, hail or shine, and unfortunately it can be pretty hard to get a court during the latter. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven past pristine, empty courts in beautiful homes around Sydney and wished I could jump on. Well, now we all can. You’ll never have to worry about not being able to get a court again. Australians are now able to play on stunning, high-end tennis courts, in the best areas, all round Australia, in private. Every tennis tragic’s dream.”
Swimply’s expansion into tennis courts is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to making private leisure facilities accessible and affordable for everyone. By connecting homeowners with guests, Swimply is creating a situation that benefits both parties and helps to unlock the full potential of these valuable assets.
