What a great idea!! The first time event brought so many different individuals together.  People wanting to know general information about Adapted Aquatics.  Others wanted information on how to start an Aquatic program for all ages and stages of people with special needs. I think there was a wealth of very useful information that everyone went home with to be able to create some awareness for the need to keep pools open and sustainable.

Thank you Kim Burgess, NDPA Executive Director for being persistent in your dream.
