Announcing the partnership, FINA Executive Director, Brent Nowicki stated “we are delighted to partner with Counsilman-Hunsaker for the benefit of FINA’s Member Federations and the entire aquatics family. By partnering with Counsilman-Hunsaker we have an opportunity to transform aquatic venues around the world and ensure that athletes of all ages and abilities have access to the safe, sustainable and world-class facilities they deserve
Counsilman-Hunsaker President, Scott Hester added “we are very much looking forward to working with FINA and the international aquatic sport community to provide a better aquatics experience for people worldwide.

“By serving in this role, we are committed to our mission of creating aquatic experiences that transform people and communities.”
