How Athletes and Coaches Can Help

Athletes and Coaches

How can you help?

Athletes and coaches spend countless hours training and competing in natatoriums, making them among the first to experience the effects of poor indoor air quality. By understanding the importance of healthy indoor environments and sharing that knowledge with others, you can help drive meaningful change throughout the aquatics community.

At IAQ Mission, we’re committed to making it easy to spread awareness. Download and share our Indoor Pool IAQ White Paper with teammates, facility staff, and your network. Help amplify the message by sharing our ready-to-use social media posts, and subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed about the latest research, educational resources, and IAQ initiatives.

Together, we can build awareness, encourage best practices, and help create healthier indoor environments for everyone who enjoys aquatic facilities.
