World Aquatic Development Conference

SportAdmin på World Aquatic Development Conference! 🌊

I helgen deltog vi som utställare på World Aquatic Development Conference, en konferens fylld av spännande samtal och kunskapsutbyte kring utvecklingen inom vattenidrott. Vi är glada över möjligheten att ha fått träffa så många engagerade föreningsutvecklare, ledare och tränare, samt dela våra insikter om hur vi kan göra föreningslivet enklare och mer effektivt!

Ett stort tack till SK Poseidon och alla som tog sig tid att prata med oss – vi ser fram emot nästa gång!

New this year at WADC 2025 was the Diving track. Diving had some fantastic days with speakers like Greg Louganis, Gareth Ziyambi, Sahana Gopal, Kim White, Paul Joachim Bloch Thorsen, Tanya Kumar, Dean Barker and Mads Claussen.
