Back to Package

  • Registration Closed

Around the world, we saw every person and industry rapidly impacted by COVID-19. Now we are all returning to a society full of new adaptations and fears and recreation and aquatic centers are no exception. While some temporary changes were implemented to get back on track as soon as possible, it's now time to consider long-term implications, and how we can prepare and design for a safer and healthier future. Join Craig Bouck and Mick Massey as they review a variety of physical, systems, and operational changes that will provide recreation professionals with options on how to be progressive and create peace of mind in our "new normal."
