In this week's special episode of Discussions from the Deep End, Daniel Peters and Kirsten Barnes sit down for an important conversation about a major shift in the aquatics industry: CMAHC is officially joining AOAP as a subsidiary organization. After months of discussion, both teams are ready to share the βwhy,β the βhow,β and what this transition means for the future of aquatic operations, public health, and the Model Aquatic Health Code community.
Daniel and Kirsten walk through the strengths each organization brings to the table, how CMAHCβs respected technical voice will remain protected, and why this partnership creates new opportunities for training, standards development, and industry-wide collaboration. They also speak directly to CMAHC members, volunteers, and contributors about what they can expect moving forward β and why their involvement remains central to the mission.
If youβre an aquatic professional, public health leader, or MAHC contributor, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a look at the exciting future ahead.
