With "Innovative pool concepts in Canada", the organisers cast a look across the Big Pond and take a look at the southern hemisphere with "Pool concepts in Australia". Also on the agenda: a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency - the swimming pool in passive house design

The focus of the visits and discussions was on rugby and cricket stadiums, club sports centres with competitive and sport for all profiles as well as public sports and swimming centres.
