3 Benefits of Getting Quality Marquee Tents for Your Swimming Club Events

While swimming classes and training are definitely fun, I’m sure you’ll agree that the most exciting part of being in a swimming club are the races and the promotional events. They allow members to showcase their swimming abilities and mingle with other clubs from different areas of the country. What’s more, these events are the perfect opportunity to attract sponsorships and support for your club.

However, as fun as it is, hosting an outdoor event comes with a number of responsibilities. One such important responsibility is choosing appropriate marquee tents. A quality marquee can allow club members, parents and sponsors to cool off, mingle and have some snacks under a comfortable shade while enjoying the swimming show. With that being said, many swimming clubs go for marquees tents which are Australian standard certified due to the following benefits they offer.

Safety

Marquees which are certified with the Australian standard are designed to ensure the safety of the people underneath them. First of all, they are UV rated 50+ which is essential if want to make sure your swimming club is SunSmart compliant. Additionally, these marquees are built to be sturdy and resistant to winds up to 60km/h so that they don’t bend or fall and potentially hurt someone if it’s windy. If you’re planning to set up a barbecue stand as part of your event, an Australian standard certified marquee can give you peace of mind as it is fire rated.

Durability

Does your swimming club have a long and proud history? Considering the popularity of the sport, it’s very probable that the club will endure many years into the future as well. So, when buying marquees tents it’s cost-efficient to think in the long term. Many providers of Australian certified marquees have warranties which extend up to 12 years! A long warranty is the best sign of quality as it tells you that the manufacturer is confident that the structure is built well and will withstand wear and tear. So, when purchasing a marquee try to find something with at least a 3-year warranty in order to get the most for your hard-earned funds.

Promotion

Attracting potential sponsors and new memberships are some of the most important goals when hosting a swimming club event. A customized marquee with your club’s colours, logo and motto can help build team spirit and also showcase your unique image to guests and the whole country. As people take selfies in front of your marquee and post them on social media, you’ll essentially get free advertisements for your club. So, use this to your advantage and get your marquee custom printed. When doing so, make sure that the manufacturer can offer you a “Not to Fade” warranty which basically means that the print won’t get damaged by outside factors such as sun and rain. If you don’t have any additional funds for printing, you can use other promotional materials such as flags and banners.
