Fluidra, through its holding company AstralPool, has become the only Spanish official sponsor of the FINA (International Swimming Federation). Fluidra's Skypool technology, which enables the construction of temporary or permanent suspended pools, represented a milestone in the world of swimming competition. This was recognised by the company being named Official FINA Partner by the International Swimming Federation (FINA). The sponsorship agreement saw Fluidra become the official supplier of competition swimming pools for the world championships in Shanghai (China) in 2006, in Melbourne (Australia) in 2007 and in Manchester (United Kingdom) in 2008.
