RETHINK. REPURPOSE. RENEW.

September 17th, 2026

How can we get more from every pool?

With the cost of living increasing and limited budget spending on aquatic infrastructure from government, the question is increasingly at the heart of how we think about the future of aquatic facilities across Australia.

The rising construction costs, pressure on water and energy resources, and increasing demand for aquatic programs (ongoing operational financial sustainability), simply building bigger facilities is not always the answer.

RETHINK. REPURPOSE. RENEW. At Fluidra Commercial, we believe the answer lies in combining Australian-made solutions, flexible pool programming and emerging wellness opportunities to create facilities that are more sustainable, more adaptable and capable of delivering greater value to their communities

Australian-made innovation has an important role to play. Fluidra Australia is not only providing affordable pool solutions locally made but is also helping support the Australian economy by manufacturing in five sites across Australia.

Chadson commercial filtration systems, manufactured in Australia, provide high-performance filtration solutions designed to support efficient water management, while Sunbather thermal pool blankets, also proudly Australian made, help reduce evaporation and heat loss — supporting lower water, heating and chemical consumption.

But sustainability is not only about reducing consumption. It is also about getting more value from the infrastructure we already have.

Fluidra Commercial’s pool programming solutions, including Australian made SR Smith SwimWalls, movable bulkheads and Anti-wave lane ropes, can transform how an aquatic facility operates. Flexible pool configurations can create additional program spaces, allowing swimming lessons, squad training, recreation, water polo and other activities to operate within the same overall footprint.

And the opportunity extends beyond swimming.

The growing focus on health, wellness and recovery is creating new possibilities for aquatic facilities, hotels and leisure destinations. At SPLASH! 2026, Fluidra Commercial showcased the expansion of its wellness offering, including massage chairs, cold plunge pools and water features, reflecting the evolving role of aquatic spaces in supporting relaxation, recovery and wellbeing.
