Our timeschedule is still changing as we add speakers to the program. We will keep the start and end of the conference the same so you can book your tickets to the conference.
With our app you can always stay on top of what is happening at the conference. You will get updates, schedule and news right in your mobile device.
Meeting new friends at our conference is very easy. In 2025 we had 23 countries attend and more 350 coaches and speakers. With small events like “matchmaking” and “openstage” you can always find interesting cooperations.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming World Aquatic Development Conference (WADC) 2025, where we gather a diverse mix of scientists, swimmers, and coaches from across the globe.
Our event has built a reputation for thinking beyond conventional methods and forging new paths to success in the world of swimming.
New this year, we are excited to introduce a dedicated Diving track, which will follow the same innovative approach as the rest of the conference. This track will feature a lineup of top speakers from the diving community, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and practice in aquatic sports.
If you have a unique idea, groundbreaking research, or innovative practices that align with our vision, we invite you to submit an abstract or outline of your proposed topic for consideration.
Our first day is for our competitive coaches. This will set the tone of the conference and we will get some things to think about during the rest of the weekend.

“My teammates and I were so glad to attend WADC from 2012 to 2020. In those conferences, many presentations and stories from those great speakers always inspired us with their unique perspective and passion. From then, those new ideas were inputted into my swimming programs. By attending Brainswim training with theory and practice’s sessions , other than skill learning, it really helped us to identify the core value of teaching and to setup a roadmap for future development. Last but not least, we made a good network with those participants from all over the world and we had time to share valuable experience from each other. I highly recommend instructors to attend WADC 2020 and hope to meet you there. Cheers!”

We are a swim club with high ambitions in sport and organizational. We came to WADC 2018 because we have a focus on education and continuous competence refills. In addition, we look at WADC as a good social arena for us, and also a possibility to extend our network within swimming”.
