Get 'WABC Right' - Get
Brighton!
Brighton
WABC2009 will be an exciting
participatory exchange of different ideas - covering babies AND
young children and on in to early teaching of strokes - that will greatly boost the
ways you teach and administer your program.
WABC2009
is a mix of some 'favorite' presenters from previous conferences as well as
'fresh' presenters with different ideas to help you succeed.
What
in the World are you doing with your teaching & programme?
You will be excited to see and hear about the
amazing growth in the UK in aquatic programs for babies and young
children. They are excited to show what they have accomplished
and learn what works for you in other parts of the world.
Steve Graves
WABC President
How do you like it ...
WABC2009 will include:
-
Presentations by experts where you can
listen & see their video presentations and learn.
- There will be
interviews
of experts
in the areas of programs for babies, preschoolers, and
those moving into strokes, plus program administration. More
up close and personal. -
Q & A sessions devoted to the above
areas where your questions will be answered. Another way that you
get what YOU need from the conference. Not just listening to
talking heads.
- Beyond and not in
competition with this program will be a
affinity group sessions where you can meet people just like
yourself....from around the world! No need to "hope" you will meet
someone in the "cafe", you WILL meet everyone and not just those
trying to sell you consulting services. Past conference participants say
that they have made life long friends as a result of WABC
interactions. Friends
they can contact when they have a question or problem.
Since none of us are as smart as ALL of us -
when we meet, listen, see, learn and share . . . Don't miss
Brighton
for a terrific inspirational as well as
educational experience!

It is very important to have many professional and experienced presenters on NEW topics and viewpoints. At WABC conferences you see and hear things that are NEW to you!
Not just the same faces featured in primary speaking positions. And you get to hear ALL of the presenters since they each will present to the entire audience in turn. This way you don't miss any talks
since you do not have to choose between presentations - you see and hear ALL the speakers.
It is also very important to hear from Past Speaker Favorites from earlier WABC conferences to tell about
what is very NEW in their teaching.
