THE NATURAL SWIMMING POOL CONGRESS



3rd International Swimming Pond Congress
7-10 September 2005, Interlaken, Switzerland

A biotope you can jump into
In our increasingly technical world swimming ponds are clearly the future. The harmonious merging of swimming pool and biotope makes possible a unique bathing and garden experience. As if swimming in a natural freshwater lake, in clear, soft water which needs no chemicals, surrounded by flora and fauna: this is the utmost care for your physical and mental wellbeing!

The 3rd International Swimming Pond Congress is held from 7th-10th September 2005 in Interlaken, Berner Oberland, in the Casino-Kursaal. In this famous Spa town you will find out everything you need to know about these ecological bathing oases, whether for the public arena – hoteliers, camping site owners, and local authorities take note! – or for the private garden.

In the program we have expert speakers with the highest expertise, and in-depth workshops. Running concurrently in a trade fair, leading Swiss, German and Austrian suppliers will exhibit the latest innovations in the field. You will have opportunities to discuss and share your knowledge, and network with others at a get-together party and gala evening. And another highlight: for your partner who might not be attending the Congress we have an exciting alternative program.

Dive into the unique water world of swimming ponds. See on the following pages which Congress modules fit what you are looking for. We wish you an unforgettable stay. Congress, Conference, Seminar!
