What's new in community aquatics? - National Aquatic Branch - Brief Article

Parks & Recreation, Jan, 2003

Community park and recreation agencies are finding public waterparks and family aquatic centers to be revenue-producing facilities that can be self-supporting and create an aquatic environment that attracts more users, especially entire families. The 18th Annual National Aquatic Conference and National Aquatic Management School is the place to be to learn how you can expand and improve your aquatics program, while helping your community improve its health and safety. Scheduled for March 6-11 in Albuquerque, N.M., the conference will feature the Aquatic Facility Operators Certification Course, the Better Beach and Waterfront Management Seminar, as well as extensive programs on risk management, staff motivation and training, and computer training for aquatics. The keynote speaker will be Judith Leblein, a noted specialist in marketing, promotion and aquatic operations.
