Since 1999, the biennial International Swimming Pond Congress has been a source of inspiration for new ideas and innovation, as well as a hub for interdisciplinary exchange of specialist companies and manufacturers who plan, build, supply, operate and assess natural bathing waters.
The expertise will be passed on to the participants by outstanding speakers at this Congress.
The 11th International Swimming Pond Congress will take place on 5th and 6th October 2021 in Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal. The proven concept of the 10th Congress in Warsaw is largely taken over.
Venue is the Club Med DaBalaia, directly at the Atlantik coast, a modern and luxurious holiday resort with outstanding travelers rating. Lecture rooms, workshops, exhibition in the foyer, rooms and restaurant are in the immediate vicinity and within the resort.
For the first time in the history of the International Congress, a large swimming pond is available in the hotel. Not only for talking shop, but also for swimming!

Companies wishing to exhibit at this fair can download the reservation form very soon and obtain information about the costs incurred. We will soon be able to provide a contact who can coordinate the booths of the exhibiting companies and help with any questions.
