Kia Ora!
The World
Aquatic Babies Congress 2007 was an astounding success!
Once again
the gathering of such a passionate collective provided
the platform for an inspirational conference where new
information was presented along with a widening of the
audience and presenters beyond the traditional aquatics
field.
Three days
of an action packed programme, social opportunities and
most notably a massive party to finish will remain as
memories for a long while yet.
A special
thank you also to the presenters who prepared such
specific and ‘new’ information – the feedback forms
indicate an overwhelming level of satisfaction with the
conference content.
I would
like to pay special thanks to the Sponsors of WABC
2007 – SPARC and SFRITO along with all of
the Trade Display operators – Spank, Imse Vimse, Swim
Australia, NZSCAT, Kaboodle Bags, Computerise and
Dolphin Swimwear.
Please
note the following:
Future
Events
You will
probably be aware of the announcement made for the 2009
conference. Sharon Crowley from Canada has taken on the
leadership for this. The 2009 event will be held in
Vancouver. Sharon has the full support of organisations
such as The US Swim Schools Association, the Swim For
Life Foundation, AUSTSWIM and Water Safety New Zealand.
We are certain most international organisations will
support the momentum developed in Wellington at WABC
2007. Sharon will be in touch soon to inform you of
developments for the 2009 gathering.
I know a
lot of you will be disappointed with the weather you
experienced, but here in New Zealand we script that… it
was no coincidence that most of you arrived and departed
with beautiful sunshine and calm winds to remind you of
the wonderful time you had in Wellington.
From the
organising committee of WABC 2007 we thank you for being
part of a tremendously successful event and look forward
to meeting you again at future events!
Kind
regards
Matt
