Welcome to the International Swimming Pool and Wellness Forum from October 24th to 26th 2023!

The aquanale congress, which deals with the main topics of sustainability, quality and staff loyalty, is taking place for the tenth time. The program offers exciting content for both public and private swimming pool markets. Theory and practice alternate. Among other things, new standards are explained and best practices are presented. Switzerland, this year’s partner country for the trade fair, also provides insights into the Swiss swimming pool world. And on Tuesday evening it will be international: the European swimming pool awards EUSA Awards 2023 will be presented.

Thanks to numerous sponsors, participation is free for all trade fair visitors. Just drop by in hall 7, C 40, listen, ask questions, join the discussion and benefit. The organizers and speakers are looking forward to many visitors and extend a warm welcome to swimming pool builders, public pool operators, hoteliers, architects, planners, employees in swimming pools and all other interested parties. There will be simultaneous translation (German/English).

A warm welcome! All lectures are free* of charge and can be visited without application. *An entrance ticket for aquanale/FSB is obligatory.
