Fluidra Expands Its Role in Aquatic Sports With Four International Projects Worth €10 Million
BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fluidra, a global leader in connected equipment and solutions for the pool and wellness sector, expanding its role in aquatic sports with four new projects in Paraguay, Italy, Romania and India valued at over €10 million.
In Paraguay, Fluidra is delivering a turnkey project for the future Olympic Aquatic Center, which is set to host the Asunción Junior Pan American Games from August 9 to 23, 2025. The company is building an Olympic pool for water polo and artistic swimming using SkyPool modular panels, a flexible construction solution designed for both new and existing infrastructures. The pool will also feature the Bulkhead system, a mobile platform that divides the pool into separate zones for greater versatility.
Fluidra is also constructing a diving pool underpinned by Sparger technology. This system releases high-pressure air from the pool floor to make bubbles, enhancing safety by cushioning athletes' landings.
Both pools include design, installation, supervision and commissioning of water treatment and heating systems, along with competition equipment for swimming and diving. Fluidra will also provide on-site maintenance during the event to ensure peak performance throughout the competition.
In Italy, the company is building two competition pools for the 2026 Mediterranean Games in Taranto. This project includes an indoor eight-lane pool and an outdoor ten-lane pool, both equipped with SkyPool and Bulkhead technology. Designed by the MDU Architetti studio, the venue combines sustainability with urban regeneration while honoring the city's coastal landscape.
Supporting Sports
In Romania, Fluidra has been selected to design and build seven pools as part of a new aquatic complex in Târgu Secuiesc, the largest public investment in the city's modern history. Slated to open by the end of 2025, the center is designed to promote sports, enhance public well-being and boost tourism, and will include a competition pool, training pool, recreational pool, kiddie pool and three circular spas. The turnkey contract covers mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations, as well as competition equipment, ensuring a high-quality facility for both sports and wellness.
Meanwhile, in India, Fluidra's local subsidiary, Fluidra India, is spearheading the design of a competition pool near Jowai as part of the Wahiajer Stadium renovation. Built with SkyPool technology, the project includes a complete turnkey solution that optimizes efficiency in both construction and long-term maintenance.
'We're proud to play a role in creating world-class venues for some of the most important events in global aquatic sports,' said Thorsten Muck, General Manager of Fluidra's Commercial Pool Division. 'These projects reflect our long-term commitment to the sport and our drive to deliver sustainable, high-performance solutions that elevate the athlete experience and maximize facility performance. They also reinforce our ambition to remain a leading force in the international aquatic landscape.'

Financial Account Confusion Could Cause Setbacks Amid Rising Economic Uncertainty, Santander Survey Finds
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Santander Bank, N.A. ('Santander Bank') today announced the results of a new survey that reveals misunderstandings about financial accounts, such as savings and investments, could be leading to a misalignment between consumers' financial goals and where they keep their money. For instance, 52% do not realize a high-yield savings account is a good place to keep emergency savings, and just 28% know these accounts with an FDIC member institution are safe and secure 1. This confusion comes at a time when Americans are increasingly worried about market conditions, putting even more significance on their financial decisions. 'During times of volatility, it is even more important for consumers to be equipped with the information they need to make sound financial choices,' said Swati Bhatia, Head of Retail Banking & Transformation for Santander Bank and CEO for Openbank in the United States, Santander's new national, digital banking platform. 'Consumers are worried about uncertainty, and they are confused about what accounts best align with their goals. Financial institutions such as Santander have an opportunity to help guide them to the right accounts to meet their needs.' The findings are part of the fifth installment of Santander Bank's Openbank Growing Personal Savings ('GPS') Tracker, a research series exploring Americans' spending and savings habits. Consumers Blur the Line Between Saving and Investing The survey found consumers may be mistaking higher-yielding bank accounts, such as high-yield savings accounts, with investment accounts that may involve risk of loss of principal. For instance, 35% realize high-yield savings accounts are safer than accounts that have various investment options, such as stocks and bonds, and four in 10 (42%) know that high-yield savings accounts are generally predictable from month-to-month. This lack of knowledge of high-yield savings offerings could lead savers to keep their money in lower-yielding accounts that they incorrectly view as less risky. Americans also lack an understanding of the risks of investing, which could expose savings to market volatility. More than four in 10 (43%) do not realize accounts with various investment options involve risk of loss, including 13% who do not believe there is any risk and 30% who do not know. Meanwhile, just over half (54%) believe the stock market is generally unpredictable month-to-month, with fluctuations that can earn compelling gains over time, but can also lead to near-term losses. Some consumers with brokerage accounts are exposing their savings to this volatility by using these accounts for shorter-term goals, such as emergency savings (34%) or vacation and leisure expenses (18%), subjecting them to a potential downturn when they need to access their funds. Consumers Miss Out on Interest and Safety While Preparing for the Unexpected While most investors remained undeterred amid stock market losses and economic uncertainty in Q1—with just 17% reducing regular contributions to investment accounts—savers were quick to adjust. Nearly six in 10 Americans (58%) shifted their savings approach during this time, as more focus on saving for emergencies—the most common change since the start of the year. This shift may be needed, as less than half of consumers (45%) are comfortable with the emergency savings they have, and 51% do not have at least three months' worth of emergency savings available. Americans can accelerate progress toward their goals by using higher-yielding savings options—such as high-yield savings accounts or certificates of deposit (CDs)—but a majority (65%) do not have one of these accounts. Instead, most savers use low-growth alternatives—including traditional savings accounts (39%) or checking accounts (32%)—as their primary savings destination. Seven in 10 do not realize there are high-yield savings accounts that pay at least a 4.00% Annual Percentage Yield (APY), roughly 10x the national average 2. Meeting Customers Where They Are and Where They Are Going Financial institutions have an opportunity to help customers bridge this knowledge gap, but they must meet them where they are, with digital channels becoming increasingly popular. Most bank customers already favor digital interactions for staying on top of everyday finances, including viewing account balances (74%) and transferring money between accounts (69%), while in-person engagement is generally preferred for high-touch services, such as receiving financial advice (64%) or opening an investment account (64%). The trend continues to point toward digital platforms, with Gen Z and Millennials being more likely to skew digital than older generations for actions such as opening a checking or savings account (49%) and getting account assistance (46%). 'The findings reinforce our aspirations to transform into a full-service digital bank with branches, offering customers flexibility and peace of mind knowing their money is with a bank that is part of one of the largest financial institutions in the world,' Bhatia said. 'Traditional banks lack the digital capabilities of fintechs, while fintechs do not offer in-person interaction customers may sometimes require. Openbank blends the agility of a fintech with the personal touch of an in-person experience, allowing us to better meet consumers' evolving needs.' Methodology This research on growing personal savings, conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of Santander Bank, surveyed 2,253 Americans adults. This Q1 study was conducted between March 31 – April 1, 2025. The interviews were conducted online, and the margin of error is +/- 2 percentage points for the total audience at a 95% confidence level. This data was weighted to target population proportions for a representative sample based on age, gender, ethnicity, region, and education. Monthly measures were based on additional monthly survey pulses, conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of Santander Bank, of approximately 2,200 Americans adults per month. The monthly iterations were conducted January 16 - 17, February 14 – 16, and March 14 - 16, 2025 to measure month-over-month changes. Each monthly survey was conducted online, and the margin of error is +/- 2 percentage points for the total audience at a 95% confidence level.
