The International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo, co-located with Deck Expo, celebrated its charitable contributions during the last show’s edition. Recognizing the importance of water safety, the event donated $25,000 toward Step Into Swim, a nonprofit initiative of the PHTA dedicated to creating more swimmers through safe swim education.

“We want to ensure that every poolside memory is a happy one — one that is enjoyed with confidence and awareness,” says Olympic gold medalist Rowdy Gaines, PHTA vice president of partnerships and development, who leads the Step Into Swim initiative. “By teaming up with Step Into Swim, PSP/Deck Expo showcases its dedication to both innovation and responsibility.”

PSP/Deck Expo 2024 will take place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, Nov. 9-14, 2024.
