News From Barcelona Swimming Pool Show

Well we're back from Barcelona. We had a great time, Barcelona's such a great city (even when it rains). The show was much quieter than previous years, still good though. Didn't really find much to tell you about. Lots of the smaller stalls with safety items just weren't there. I was impressed with a product called SWIMFIN. I've added a link at the side if you're interested in this product. It's a fun idea to help kids stay afloat and balanced in the water. I like this product and I've heard from several friends in the UK that they are becoming very popular as swimming aids during official swimming lessons. They come in an assortment of colours, so you'll be sure to find a colour your child likes.

I did see another range of products I loved. They're not in any way, shape or form safety items though. They're for kids and adults who are already good swimmers, but so much fun.
I might have to add a fun page with my own safety warning added. Watch out for more information coming soon.

Other than that it was the general pool cleaning ideas, pumps, heaters, spa's and pool builders.
No new and exciting products this time around. Oh well.

Best wishes and STAY SAFE

p.s. I've added a couple of new products down the side for you to check out.

Two Days Until Barcelona

Only two days until we head of for the Barcelona Swimming Pool Exhibition (and a little bit of shopping).

Richard is busy getting the pools in tip top condition, we've had strong winds and lots of leaves and rubbish blowing about. I'm not expecting to see him very early tonight. Mind you, I don't think many people will be brave enough to be swimming in the pools. The weather is certainly on the chilly side now.

So, we've got two full days at the exhibition. Richard will be on the look out for new, improved ways to clean the pools, heating methods, repair techniques and tools, etc, and I'm searching out new products for our safety line. Keep an eye out next week to see what we picked up at the show and new products we'll hopefully be adding to our safety range.

I'll catch up with you all next week and let you know how we got on.

Bye for now.
