Fact Sheets

Each year the Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Victoria publishes a directory (not a magazine) which is a reference text to promote a better understanding of the technology involved in modern pools and spas, and the skills required to build and maintain them.  If you would like to receive a copy of The Pool and Spa Book 2006 please visit www.spasavic.com.au to register your interest, the directory is also available as a PDF download.

SPASA came into being in Victoria in 1961 when a small group of pool builders met to discuss their industry.  It now covers the entire pool and spa industry across the state and includes builders, shops, manufacturers and service agents.  The original aim was to establish standards and business ethics and product quality that would protect the pool and spa buyer and ensure their complete satisfaction.

Pauline's father, Alfred Woods, is a Past President and Life Member of SPASA.
