Indoor pool air affects everyone who spends time around the water. After years on pool decks, I’ve seen how much the air we breathe can shape comfort, health, and performance for swimmers, coaches, officials, and families alike.
I’ve spent more time breathing pool air than swimming in the water. That’s why air quality matters to me.
The IAQ Mission is all about bringing our community together to raise awareness, share real experiences, and push for healthier indoor pool environments for everyone who uses them.
Every story counts. Every voice adds strength.
Be part of a growing movement that’s helping redefine what “clean air” means for indoor pools everywhere.
Every breath inside a pool facility carries more than fresh air – it can also carry humidity, chlorine byproducts, and heat. The balance of these factors determines how clean, safe, and comfortable the space feels.
Proper air management keeps swimmers and staff healthier, helps equipment last longer, and maintains the quality of the air we all share.
Maintains air freshness and prevents the buildup of irritants.
Reduces corrosion and improves energy efficiency.
Keeps comfort consistent for both swimmers and spectators.
Helps avoid eye and throat irritation.
IAQ Mission is about awareness, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
The goal isn’t to criticize – it’s to inform and empower. By understanding the science behind air quality and sharing real experiences, the aquatics community can create healthier environments for everyone, from recreational swimmers to Olympic champions.
The IAQ Mission is powered by collaboration — between engineers, athletes, and facility partners. Below, you’ll find the organizations working together to promote cleaner, safer pool environments.
