Dry the dishes. Fill the pool!! - Every towel sold puts money straight into the repair fund for the Cust Community Pool!

Our tea-towels have been designed and sourced right here in New Zealand, in two designs featuring historic local areas and road names.

They are 100% Organic Cotton and have been dyed using water-based inks which means this is a tea towel that is both absorbent and made to last.

The Cust Pool tea-towels make excellent Christmas presents, keepsakes to frame or if you like, you can just use it as a tea towel! We've tested them and can confirm they will actually dry the dishes!

You can pre-order your towels now on our website: https://custpool.co.nz/tea-towels
Orders close 4th October - Delivery early November.

Would you like to advertise your business at the Cust Community Pool?

We have a unique opportunity for local businesses to purchase an advertising space at the Cust Pool. The pool is used by hundreds of local families each season. Each sign purchased will be displayed in a prominent position at the head of our pool for the next two seasons (2026-27 and 2027-28) and the funds raised will go directly to helping to pay for our new pool upgrade - scheduled to open this November!! Each business will also be listed on our website as a sponsor of the pool, and given a promotional thank you on our social media channels.

We also ensure exclusivity for each business type – so make sure you secure a sign whilst they are still available!!

If you’re interested in purchasing an advertising sign - please contact us at [email protected].

Please note: the following signs have already been secured: Building firm, Glazing firm (housing and Auto), Electrician, Music teacher, Real Estate Agent, Earthworks.

Another round of FreshChoice Mandeville Community Shout is done, and a huge thank you to all our locals who got behind these fantastic community groups!

🥇 Cust Community Swimming Pool takes out the top spot!

We love seeing those tokens build up each week, and the best part is that every group receives a share of our Community Shout funding.

A BIG thank you to those who came out to help with the hedge clearing working bee today! It raised another $500 to go towards saving the pool!

Although we are applying for grants to help us reach our final target, its important to understand that many organisations will only award grants when they are satisfied that that the community has shown commitment to saving the pool by participating in fundraising activities, so helping out with events like this or buying into our fundraisers such as our fabulous organic tea towels are vitally important! 😇

A Big thank you to Sarah Perrins Photography and everyone who attended our mini photoshoot sessions last weekend! Together you raised $540 to go towards repiaring the pool! 😍
