2010 Regional BAP Conferences

"Plan It - Program It - Design It"

As of April 2009, we have conducted 5 National Build a Pool Conferences.  To date we estimate this conference has been an important part of over 65 new facilities being commissioned since 2004.  It has also played a secondary role in over 100 additional projects. Our professioanl providers have played a MAJOR part in these successes.

We have decided to make an effort to take the Build a Pool Conference to the regional level so our clubs and projects have a more economical option to acquire information. These 1 day 8 hour events (or a day and a half, 12 hour events) will be conducted by our Facilities Development Department staff.
