Industry Leader Honors Standout Aquatics Facilities
Aquatics International magazine announces the 2009 Best of Aquatics honorees
LOS ANGELES (September 14, 2009) – Aquatics International magazine is honoring eleven world-class public aquatics facilities this November, in its eleventh annual Best of Aquatics issue. Each year the contest celebrates outstanding facilities of all varieties— including government, nonprofit and privately owned operations.
This year’s winners are:
•Chaos Waterpark Resort – Eau Claire, Wis.
•CISD Natatorium – Shenandoah, Texas
•Cypress Cove Family Aquatic Park – Woodridge, Ill
•Hershey Park – Hershey, PA
•In Motion Fitness – Chico, CA
•LifeCenter Plus – Hudson, Ohio
•Naval Base Ventura County Moral Welfare Recreation – Port Hueneme, CA
•Palm Beach Gardens Aquatic Complex – Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
•SouthWest Aquatics – Winter Garden, Fla.
•The Keller Pointe – Keller, Texas
CoCo Key Water Resorts – Milwaukee, Wis., was chosen for Best Overall Commitment to Aquatics, an award which recognizes organizations that operate more than one aquatics facility.
All winners will be featured in a special Best of Aquatics supplement to the November/December issue of the magazine. All entries were judged by an independent panel of five industry experts. Judges considered factors including programming, promotional materials, aquatic amenities and community involvement.
“The awards are that much more special because they are judged by a panel of peers,” said Aquatics Internaitonal Editor Gary Thill. “Competition for these awards is fierce so these facilities really are the best of the best.”
Published by Hanley Wood, Aquatics International is the only B-to-B publication exclusively serving the aquatics industry with a circulation of approximately 25,000.
