Swimply Announces Selkirk Sport Partnership

Jul 16, 2024

We're excited to share that we've teamed up with Selkirk Sport, the leading manufacturer of top-quality pickleball paddles and equipment, to bring picklers unbeatable benefits and a superior sporting experience. As the premier marketplace for renting private recreational spaces by the hour, including pickleball courts, Swimply is always looking for ways to enhance the fun and provide more opportunities to play.

Through our partnership with Selkirk Sport, Swimply pickleball Hosts will now receive exclusive discounts on Selkirk pickleball nets and balls. Plus, players booking their courts through Swimply can enjoy special deals on Selkirk balls and apparel. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Pickleball has been the fastest-growing sport in America for the past three years, and with this rapid growth comes increased difficulty in securing public court time. That’s where our collaboration with Selkirk Sport comes in. By connecting players with private courts nationwide, we're ensuring picklers always have a place to play, along with exclusive benefits that make the experience even better.

Swimply Hosts will receive emails with discount codes to participate in this exclusive program. Swimply guests will also get a special discount code to use on Selkirk.com after booking a court through Swimply. Consider this our way of saying thank you for being part of the Swimply community and enhancing your pickleball experience with the best equipment available!
