This fall, Swan Aquatics is heading to Orlando, Florida, September 16–18 for the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Annual Conference—the largest event in the world of parks and recreation.

The NRPA conference is a place where thousands of recreation professionals gather to share ideas, explore innovations, and discuss how to make communities healthier, safer, and more connected. With hundreds of education sessions, a massive exhibit hall, and a network of leaders from across the country, it’s the ultimate space to learn, collaborate, and grow.

Why We’re Attending

At Swan Aquatics, we believe in more than just teaching swimming skills—we believe in creating spaces where communities can thrive. This year’s NRPA theme, “Build Together, Play Together,” aligns perfectly with our values.

By attending NRPA 2025, our team will:

  • Expand Our Expertise in aquatics management, equity in recreation, and innovative facility design.

  • Explore New Tools that make swimming safer, more accessible, and more fun for all.

  • Strengthen Our Network by connecting with park and recreation professionals who share our passion for building stronger communities.

How It Helps the Communities We Serve

When we come home from NRPA, we’ll bring with us more than notes and business cards—we’ll bring fresh strategies, creative programming ideas, and practical tools to apply directly in the pools and aquatic facilities we manage.

The families, swimmers, and community members who already trust Swan Aquatics will benefit from:

  • Enhanced safety practices inspired by national leaders.

  • Inclusive programming ideas that make water activities accessible to everyone.

  • New partnerships and resources that allow us to continue innovating locally.

We’re proud to represent our communities at NRPA 2025, and we’re excited to dive into new learning that will keep our aquatics programs strong, safe, and fun for years to come. Come stop by our booth and say hi! We will see you there.
