At Pools by John Clarkson, we look forward to the annual Aquatech conference as an opportunity to network with fellow builders from across the nation, attend seminars and prepare for the year to come. This year added another level of excitement as we traveled to Vancouver and Whistler Canada - site of the 2010 Winter Olympics!
Now that we have returned, we wanted to provide an update from the conference:
1) Aquatech's new consumer web-site is ready to launch! http://www.aquatechpools.com/ has been re-designed to focus on future and current pool owners' needs. Articles, recipes, pictures, builder profiles, and so much more are the focus of the new site.
2) Jacksonville Pool builder PBJC was honored with 2 Gold awards for new construction; 1 Silver for new construction with Artificial Rock; 1 Gold award for Renovation; and another for the category "Fun with your Pool." (See future blogs for more.)
3) We learned a lot discussing designs, construction techniques, and new technologies with fellow pool builders. The best session is simply known as "Best of/Worst of," and was reintroduced this year. Basically we go around a room with ~50 other builders and everyone discusses their best and worst decision of the past year.
To summarize, check out the new Aquatech website and stay tuned for the Award winning pictures.
