The cost of not attending

Sanitary risk, fines, and closures.
What not knowing can cost you.

Commercial aquatic facilities operate under constantly changing regulatory frameworks. A documented sanitary incident can lead to temporary closure, civil liability, and irreversible reputational damage for your hotel, resort, or water park.

The problem

Regulatory compliance in constant evolution

NOM-245, MAHC, COPRISEM, AGEPSA, and international standards are updated every year. Operating with an outdated framework is latent exposure.

What's at stake

Cryptosporidium, Naegleria, electrocution, entrapment

Documented cases in Mexico: 400 athletes poisoned (Guadalajara 2018), 300 people affected by chloramines (Chihuahua 2023).

The solution

A network of decision-makers · CDC · NSF · COFEPRIS · COPRISEM · AGEPSA

The most valuable technical-regulatory contact network in the Spanish-speaking aquatic sector, in a single day at UNAM.
