For four years running, we’ve kept you up to date on the latest movers and shakers in the industry with our annual Power 25 issue. The Aquatics International Power 25 is back again, but this year you may notice some less familiar faces on the list. That’s because some of the most powerful people in aquatics are not necessarily aquatics professionals. Over the past year or so, a lot has happened outside the confines of the industry that has profoundly impacted how you may operate. Researchers have unveiled some groundbreaking findings; policy makers have been busier than ever making pools safer; consultants have dramatically shaped some of the latest trends; and industry allies have become even more important. These are just some of the influential leaders you’ll get to know on the next several pages, so jump in and power up!
