Ngā Mihi / Welcome
World Aquatic Babies Congress 2007
6 - 8th
October 2007
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 make special mention
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.

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
