Tabatha Wethal’s feature article, “From Accessibility to Inclusivity: Exceeding Standards in Aquatic Design” (See AB April 2023, page 46), is a great reminder on the importance of inclusion in our industry. Specifically, Wethal’s piece discusses how designers think about creating aquatics facilities that allow for people of all ages and abilities to participate in something as common and refreshing as a swim in the community rec center pool.

Accessibility is a facet of inclusion, which is a relevant topic that has implications that go far beyond physical barriers encountered in infrasctructure. AB Media is continually covering issues relating to how we can include all people — regardless of race, color, creed or sexual identity — in everything from facilities to participation in athletics. As evidenced by the comments section on our website, our readers are passionate about the issue of inclusion.
