Fluidra innovation helps Inverell Aquatic Centre secure excellence award
Innovation from Fluidra Australia helped the $25 million Inverell Aquatic Centre located in Northern NSW, secure the Excellence in Innovation Award at the prestigious Aquas Awards Gala, hosted by Royal Life Saving in early May.
The Aquas is Royal Life Saving's night of celebration that honours the contributions and dedication of individuals and organisations working to prevent drowning and promote aquatic participation for everyone across NSW and the ACT.
For the aquatic centre, Fluidra Australia provided a bulkhead capable of insulating half of the 50 metre x 8 lane pool into a 25 metre x 8 lane pool in wintertime while meeting World Aquatics regulations.
This was achieved through an innovative design that has seen a moveable boom - supplied by Fluidra Commercial - placed at the 25 metre mark of the pool (at the boundary between the main pool hall and the outside) with the ability to be locked down to separate the water areas.
Fluidra also provided a movable warm water program pool for swim lessons, hydrotherapy and much more. Including movable stairway and access lift built into the AKVOSpiralift movable floor. They also supplied SRSmith starting blocks, stainless steel anchors and lane ropes.
Representatives from Belgravia Leisure accepted the award on behalf of Inverell Shire Council, recognising the innovative design elements integrated into the recently constructed aquatic centre.
Inverell Shire Council worked closely with Royal Life Saving throughout the development, construction, and accreditation phases of the Inverell Aquatic Centre, ensuring industry-leading safety standards and innovative aquatic design elements.
Belgravia Leisure’s Business Operations Manager Liz Stranix, presented the award to Inverell Shire Mayor Kate Dight at the Inverell Aquatic Centre where it will be displayed as a testament to the facility’s commitment to excellence.
