Join the National Drowning Prevention Alliance at their 2024 National Water Safety Conference because as they say: drowning won’t stop; neither will we.

Pool professionals are invited to attend the National Water Safety Conference & Annual Association of Aquatic Professionals Conference and Exposition February 12-15, 2024, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. Over the years, the Annual Conference and Exposition has become the premiere gathering for aquatic professionals to showcase their success stories, network with peers, develop organizational partnerships, and hear from speakers willing to share their tips, techniques, and experiences for the benefit of our profession.

Through the conference the educational committee aims to provide attendees with practical, hands-on experiences so they may return home with relevant, actionable plans to improve their drowning prevention, programming, leadership, risk management, technical operations, and overall facility management efforts.

Educational tracks include: Drowning Prevention, Risk Management, Staff Training, Leadership, Programming, Design, Aquatic Therapy, Professional Development, Diversity and Inclusion, University, and Facility Operation, as well as a new Model Aquatic Health Code Track presented by the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC).

In addition to the general sessions, the conference offers concurrent session tracks that will allow attendees the opportunity to customize their learning experiences.
