All Things Aquatics Returns to Houston This September

Aquatic professionals from across the industry will gather in Houston this fall as All Things Aquatics returns to the University of Houston on Saturday, September 26, 2026.

Designed as an alternative to the traditional conference format, All Things Aquatics puts the emphasis on conversation, practical learning, and building connections among professionals working throughout the aquatics industry.

The event will feature 16 aquatic professionals representing four areas of the industry. Rather than spending the entire day listening to presentations from a stage, attendees will have an opportunity to interact directly with speakers through smaller roundtable discussions.

Each featured professional will introduce themselves and their area of expertise before joining attendees for more focused conversations. The format gives participants an opportunity to ask questions, exchange experiences, discuss challenges, and connect with industry professionals in a more personal setting.

The event is geared toward a broad cross-section of the aquatics community, including facility managers, swim school operators, lifeguard trainers, parks and recreation professionals, aquatic safety specialists, and companies providing products and services to the industry.

FRIDAY – Lifeguard Night

A full evening dedicated to lifeguards: culture, readiness, rescue mindset, and the reality of what it takes to hold the line.

SATURDAY – Industry Day

Workshops, conversations, and sessions built for the other 99% of aquatics professionals — the people who run the pools, teach the lessons, manage the chaos, and keep communities safe.

In addition to attending, organizations can participate by securing one of the event’s limited speaking opportunities, sponsoring a table, or bringing team members for a day of professional development and networking.

With space limited, organizers are encouraging aquatic professionals and organizations interested in participating to secure their place early.
