Who is Aquatic Sport Council

Aquatic sports, similar to many sport disciplines, face serious infrastructure issues across Canada and especially in Ontario. The Aquatic Sport Council of Ontario believes that good aquatic facilities are fundamental to developing sporting opportunities for everyone, from the youngest beginner to the international class athlete. These aquatic buildings encourage civic pride and assist the process of revitalizing deprived neighbourhoods.

Facilities that are well designed and built to last and well maintained are a pleasure to use and give an ample return on the time and money invested in their construction and day to day use. Good design needs to be based on a sound understanding of such issues as the current trends and practices within individual sports, developments in the sport and leisure industry and the lessons to be learnt from previously built schemes. Good design needs to be embraced within the earliest vision statement for a particular project and enshrined in the initial briefing stage through to the final detailed specifications and operational arrangements.

The Aquatic Sport Council of Ontario aims to promote a greater general understanding of overall design concepts, an appreciation of technical issues and the critical factors that need to be considered in reaching the appropriate solution for a particular project. The Aquatic Sport Council of Ontario can also advise where further information, advice and expertise may be found and point to benchmark examples. This site is fundamental to ensuring:

• Increased awareness of good design in sports facilities.
• Accurate information about the facility specifications required for competition in each aquatic sport.
• Tools to assist pool operators and sport groups understand the opportunities to work collaboratively for the best uses of space and resources.
