aquanale congress enters the next round

11th International Swimming Pool and Wellness Forum

The International Swimming Pool and Wellness Forum at aquanale

The International Swimming Pool and Wellness Forum (ISWF) is taking place for the eleventh time as part of aquanale - and will once again be the central meeting point for all interested trade visitors.

In Hall 7.1, participants can look forward to a high-quality, practical specialist programme that will impress with its thematic diversity and depth of content. The ISWF offers exciting content for both the public and private swimming pool market. For example, energy monitoring, user-dependent building control and decarbonisation, electrical installations in swimming pools and the first climate-neutral natural pool will be discussed. In addition, Belgium, this year's partner country of the trade fair, will provide valuable insights into the Belgian pool market. And on Tuesday evening, things will get international: the IOC IAKS Architecture Prize 2025 will be presented live.

The event is organised the German Association for Swimming Pools and Wellness  (bsw) in close cooperation with the International Association for Sports and Leisure Facilities (IAKS) and the Federal Association of German Swimming Pool Attendants (BDS). Together with the International Academy for Pool, Sports and Leisure Constructions in Germany (IAB) and the German Society for Natural Bathing Waters (DGfnB), a programme is being created that will provide important impetus for the further development of the swimming pool and wellness industry.

Thanks to numerous sponsors, participation is free of charge for all trade fair visitors. The organisers and speakers are looking forward to welcoming many participants, including swimming pool builders, public pool operators, sauna operators, hoteliers, architects, planners, swimming pool employees and all other interested parties.

#bettertogether: Strong synergies thanks to the trade fair duo

As a joint project of the conceptual sponsors of both trade fairs - the bsw (aquanale) and the IAKS (FSB) - the ISWF impressively illustrates the practical realisation of the trade fair duo. It exemplifies what we understand by the motto #bettertogether: a platform that utilises synergies, pools expertise and combines the strengths of both leading trade fairs.
