The Fluidra Foundation sponsored the building of NSRI’s fourth Survival Swimming Centre (SSC) with the intention for it to be exhibited at the world's biggest swimming pool show – Piscina & Wellness – in Barcelona in late November 2023.
When the SSC arrived in Spain, the Fluidra engineers looked at ways of making it more efficient and improving the design, and they flew NSRI Communications Manager Andrew Ingram to Barcelona, where he presented the SSC project to guests at the first Swimming Pool Horizons Summit, which was part of the Piscina & Wellness show. The NSRI hopes to make this project sustainable with the help of partners like Fluidra.
