Feedback

I hope you are doing fine, since I got back from Wellington I've had the intention to write you in order to thank and to Congratulate you for the wonderful congress we had in Wellington, for me was very interesting, well organized and fun, so you got all!!!. The long journey was very well worth it. Congratulations to all the organizers, great team work.

It was a pleasure to be a speaker. I'd love to have the information about the evaluation of my presentation, it would be very useful for me.

Here I'm sending you something I did with photos and some lines from the Congress, I started it as soon as I got back home but didn't have the chance to finish it before, is like a thank you note as well as a scope of the beautiful atmosphere that I felt when I was there.  Click to view Monica's Flyer

Thanks Matt - it was a fantastic congress, congratulations and thank you to all of your wonderful team!!

I would love to have the feedback on my presentation when you can manage the time.

Hope to see you all again soon. For me every project and event I have been involved in with Water Safety over the past few years has been a real pleasure due to the friendliness and professionalism of you, Roger and Pip in particular - but also of course the other members of your great team. Janine and Dave were a great asset to you as they always are. This was the penultimate for me and I am so proud to consider myself an "honorary New Zealander".

Thank you from Deny, myself and the boys for such a fabulous experience!

Best wishes

Just to reiterate what a fantastic job you and your team did with the Conference.

It was an excellent event on many fronts:

  • wide range of great speakers
  • numerous appropriate topics
  • super venue
  • wonderful socials
  • first class 'trimmings'; eg. the MC, the depth of audience preparation for the panels, break slides etc etc etc
  • unforgettable hospitality (starting with the guys picking us up from the airport).

My only negative is that some of the Aussies in attendance may expect the same at our national Convention!

This opportunity is again taken to thank Water Safety New Zealand for consideration with the likes of the trade booth.

The Canadians have a hard act to follow.

Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity you allowed me three weeks ago, it seems amazing how time flies these days. Here we are in St. Pete with all the gang at the USSSA convention.

All the best, and tip of the goggles for a job well done.

Have been meaning to write this for ages…am still on a high. Just had a coffee with Pip and some interesting discussions, but I still wanted to write this especially to you.

I had a blast the whole weekend. I take my hat off to you and your team. You showcased NZ, you were professional, you ran a divergent, exciting programme, you covered every last detail, you were sensitive to everyone’s needs and the dinner was an absolute blast. I loved everything about it, loved being part of the success and learned so much.

So…thank you thank you thank you. I mean that…from the bottom of my heart. It exceeded all my expectations by far, I made amazing contacts and new friends, and I do sincerely hope the relationship that has evolved between myself and your organisation, as well as the friendships made, continue to flourish.

Give yourselves a huge pat on the back. I hope you are basking in the glory.

Best wishes and please pass on my thanks.

I can't begin to tell you how much the New Zealand experience meant to Cindy & I. Thank you so much for the wonderful time at the congress and most of all for the time with both of you. My legs were sore for three days from our "tramping about!" We are off to Florida and I am anxious to hear how Steve's event played out.

Please pass on my Congratulations and sincere thank you to everyone who contributed in putting together a fantastic WABC in Wellington this past week. The calibre of presenters from not only around the Globe but also from New Zealand was phenomenal and inspiring. I have come away with a wealth of valuable up to date information and knowledge on Infant Swimming. It was great to see and be part of the common passion that we all share and love.

Once again many thanks.

Cheers

Congratulations on a great and memorable convention. Everything was A+ (except the cold-rainy weather). This was my first WABC Convention and I plan on attending the next one in two years.

The speakers were great, the facilities awesome and the people fantastic. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and be social.

Swimmingly Yours

Just wanted to say thank you so very much for an absolute brilliant conference!

Well done to you, Janine and the rest of the team!

Lance and I were impressed with how well everything was organized and thoroughly enjoyed all of it; the topics chosen, the high quality of the speakers and the entertainment.

I am sure everyone else felt the same. It was definitely worth the long journey (about 29 hours).

Great idea to arrange the various Instructor courses too.

Also very nice to see many friends and business contacts again, and to make new ones.

The last day / Tuesday the weather was lovely with blue sky, and we were able to stroll around in town and appreciate what a beautiful country you have got.

Again, thank you so very much, you are true professionals!

All the best!

Congratulations and thank you for having the foresight to encourage Matt to stand up and bid for the WABC two years ago. I know what happened over the weekend will make a huge difference to future generations of NZ kids and hopefully create a platform for the swim teaching profession to be seen as a valid career path.

Once again congratulations to you both on an awesome conference.
