Portable swimming pools as a key element in drowning prevention
At the 2026 National Water Safety Conference, experts from the fields of water safety, education, policy and research will come together to share knowledge and discuss practical solutions for drowning prevention.
Swimwise is also contributing to the programme. Christophe Lecoque, CEO of Swimwise, will speak during the ‘Education and Swim’ session about the role of rapidly deployable mobile swimming pools as an innovative policy tool for drowning prevention.
With our portable swimming pool solutions, we bring swimming facilities closer to schools and local communities. In this way, we aim to lower the barriers to swimming lessons and contribute to improved swimming skills, water safety and accessible opportunities to swim.
