SPATEX 2025

After a stellar show in 2024, the water leisure industry will return for the 29th exhibition of SPATEX at the Coventry Building Society Arena in February 2025

Who is SPATEX for?

Taking place from Tuesday 4 to Thursday 6 February 2025, the annual, free-to-attend event attracts visitors from the whole spectrum of water leisure, from those involved in the provision, management and delivery of public and private water leisure services to schools, holiday parks, hotels, as well as builders, architects and specifiers. Totally unique, the show caters for all needs in this fast-moving sector.

What visitors will see

All water leisure product groups, for both the commercial and domestic sectors, are featured, including swimming pools, wellness facilities, saunas, spas, ice baths, steam rooms, children’s play features, hot tubs, enclosures, plus all the ancillary equipment.

“As the UK’s only dedicated water leisure exhibition, we have an excellent line-up of over one hundred companies, including all the leading international manufacturers and suppliers that you would expect to see at an exhibition of this calibre, plus some very exciting new companies making their SPATEX debut,” says the show’s organiser, Michele Bridle. Celebrating her 25th anniversary of working for SPATEX, Michele has her finger on the pulse and knows exactly what visitors are looking for.

Visitors will also be able to see, touch and discuss the latest products and trends and take advantage of exclusive show offers. The New Product Zone (sponsored by Swimming Pool News) highlights the products that look set to make the headlines in the pool season ahead.

Sustainable and eco-friendly solutions

Saving energy will be a key feature of the goods displayed on exhibitors’ stands, such as the latest heat retention covers, LED lighting, air source heat pumps and super insulated one-piece pools and hot tubs.

Sustainability and environmentally-friendly operations will also be a major topic in another important element of the show - the informative double seminar programme, much-valued by visitors.

SPATEX is widely recognised as providing the best source of free information in the industry and it’s thanks to the tremendous support of a large number of esteemed associations – namely, Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers (ISPE), Swimming Teachers Association (STA), Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS), Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG), Water Management Society (WMSoc), Legionella Control Association (LCA), Institute of Swimming (IoS) and, of course, the British Swimming Pool Federation’s SPATA (Swimming Pool & Allied Trades Association) and BISHTA (British & Irish Spa & Hot Tub Association).

Combined, they bring their individual insights and knowledge to create a varied programme of seminars that combine hands-on practical advice, technical know-how and essential health and safety guidance and compliance.

Arena 1 is dedicated to ISPE and its 20 CPD accredited workshops, covering topics such as an annual health and safety update on legislation and cases over the past 12 months and details of forthcoming changes; Legionella and the importance of microbiological testing in a business setting; commercial spa maintenance; energy savings with the correct pipe and pipework configuration; the planning, design and layout of plant rooms.

SUITSPIN SWIMWEAR DRYERS

Wet swimsuits can be a real problem for both swimmers and pool/spa facilities, but no more thanks to the SuitSpin swimwear dryer. Available exclusively in the UK from Certikin, these machines help to ensure pool water does not damage facilities by keeping floors and surfaces dry, which prevents the growth of mould and mildew. As opposed to heat, the SuitSpin uses a centrifugal force to remove 95% of water from wet swimsuits in just ten seconds.

A SuitSpin dryer not only benefits the facility but also helps swimmers who take advantage of its fantastic drying properties. It is safe for all swimsuit fabrics and ensures that your customers do not have to carry them around in a wet bag which could lead to damage to the swimwear through mould and mildew.

The dryers are available in a range of colours as well as the option of featuring your branding or message allowing you to create a bespoke design.
