Each aquatics facility entails many facets and engages many disciplines. These include programming, community outreach, lifeguard training, and lifeguard management, among others.
We at Aquatics International like to celebrate them all. For that reason, we showcase the Best of Aquatics awards every year in our November/December issue and present awards to each recipient at the Association of Aquatics Professionals conference each February or March. This year is no different.
We are now accepting applications until Sept. 18. For inspiration, take a look at these highlights from last year.
