2017 NIRSA Aquatic Institute

A part of 2017 NIRSA Triventure
November 30-December 2, 2017 • Marietta, Georgia

A successfully designed and managed aquatic facility can make all the difference to the health and wellness of a campus. From pool therapy to water polo, aquatic facilities provide students, staff, and members with the space and programming they need to stay healthy and have fun.

The NIRSA Aquatic Institute is a week-long learning and networking opportunity for professionals involved with the planning, design, and execution of aquatic facilities and programs.

Attendees who decide to attend the preconference activities will have the opportunity to obtain aquatic specific certifications!

Whether you’re a recreation facilities director, an aquatic programming professional, or a university planner, the Aquatic Institute delivers in-depth discussions and information key to the development of safe and effective aquatic facilities and programs.

Didn’t get a chance to attend the last Aquatics Institute? Take a look at what you missed out on!

I loved attending the 2015 NIRSA Triventure event! It was the first opportunity I’ve had to attend a conference that had so many aquatic sessions! I brought tons of new ideas back to my university!
