Danish water expert to fly in for pool seminars

Danish water expert Dr Ole Gronborg, a world leader in the design of heated indoor pools, will be presenting “Reducing Trihalomethanes and Chloramines in Pools” in Brisbane and Sydney during August. 

Swim Australia, The Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association’s (ASCTA) national learn-to-swim division will host the Better Water Seminar Series. The seminars will focus on tried and tested new, cost-effective technologies that significantly improve water quality in pools with high bather loads and/or high temperatures and also how to improve the quality of the air in the pool halls. There also be tips to help small facilities maximise results.

This Swim School, one of Swim Australia’s National Testing Centres, has successfully trialled the applications since October 2010. The 2011 ALFA Queensland Conference will follow on the Thursday 11 and Friday 12 August at the Logan Entertainment Centre.
