Build A Pool Conferences


Build A Pool Conferences

Virtual build a pool

The Virtual Build A Pool Webinar has been designed to give the participant 2 weeks to review and absorb the content. The material is developed into 6 modules approximately 90 minutes for each module. There will be a live

Q & A session for the participants to ask their questions of the presenters plus the sponsors and professional providers of the VBAP.

The presenters of the VBAP Webinar are Mick and Sue Nelson founders of TAP LLC (Total Aquatic Programming LLC) and Kevin Post, Principle of Counsilman Hunsaker.

The VBAP Webinar offers comprehensive education in building, renovating and programming both new and existing facilities. This information is cutting edge about the process of building and programming pools to be community centerpieces for safety, health and wellness while still being financially sustainable. Some of the topics covered include:

  • Developing your committee and professional team.
  • Understanding programming for your community and the four pillars of aquatics.
  • New technologies and build options.
  • Facility design from Learn to Swim and therapy pools to large competition pools.
  • How USA Swimming’s Professional Providers can help make your project a reality.

Custom BUILD A POOL

 A full 2-day event for your pool committee and project advocates. Our staff of professionals come to you and present.  These workshops are not designed to “convince” people to build a pool.  We want people in the room who have already decided that an aquatic facility is needed.  The workshop is designed to help project advocates identify options for size and type of facility and the associated programming needs and scope for budget.  All our presentations are based on “at least” a 2 pool Total Aquatic Programming based facility.  Most Custom Build A Pool workshops are developed for towns with a minimum of 5,000 people within a 15-minute drive.  The best demographics are families with annual median incomes of $70,000 and higher.  

Goal: Programming and Designing the facility for community access and financial sustainability. 

For Custom Workshop fees and available dates please email Sue@totalaquatic.llc  and mick@totalaquatic.llc 

or questions contact Sue Nelson or Mick Nelson.
