AARFP 2024 Attendees.png

What an incredible experience we shared at the AARFP conference in Lethbridge! From late-night chicken nugget runs to lively dueling piano sessions, our time together was fabulous. Thank you to the entire AARFP team of staff and volunteers for ensuring that all attendees had a terrific time, and we're thrilled that so many of you from the aquatics community could join us for this fantastic event.

 

During the conference, we had the pleasure of hosting over thirty representatives at the AAAP Spring Meeting. Together, we delved into board updates, received an enlightening update on the Aquatics Safety Campaign from AMHSA, and engaged in a dynamic brainstorming session to shape the future direction of the AAAP in 2024/25. If you couldn't make it to the conference, don't worry! You can still catch up on the discussions by accessing the slide deck in the Resources section of your AAAP.ca account. Simply navigate to the AAAP Meeting Archives file and dive into the insights shared during our time together.
