The IAQ Mission Indoor Pool IAQ Survey gathered insights from athletes, coaches, parents, spectators, officials, facility operators, and other members of the aquatics community. Download the Survey Results White Paper to explore the findings and learn why improving indoor air quality has become a priority for healthier, safer aquatic environments.
Indoor pool air affects everyone who spends time at the pool. After decades on deck and in the water, I’ve seen how air quality shapes comfort, performance, and overall experience for swimmers, coaches, officials, and families. The IAQ Mission brings our community together to raise awareness and share real experiences, so we can help improve the air we all rely on.
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. Our partners help advance the IAQ Mission by contributing expertise, developing educational content, supporting IAQ-focused facility design, and manufacturing solutions that promote healthier indoor environments.
