We’re making waves in the pool industry!

Symbiont Service’s Steve Olds represented the Gulf Coast Chapter at the Florida Swimming Pool Association’s (FSPA) State Board Meeting in Daytona Beach, alongside fellow board member and treasurer Jim Haidet.

The association meets quarterly to discuss legislative issues affecting the pool industry.

Two items addressed at this meeting included:

  1. the Safe Water Instruction for Minors (SWIM) Act, which aims to allow parents to apply HSA/FSA funds to swimming lessons for their children, and
  2. allowing trade associations to form health insurance groups, reducing insurance costs for members.

FSPA has full-time lobbyists in Tallahassee and Washington D.C. that support and further the interests of their members. Recently, Steve Olds made the trip to the state capital himself to testify on HB 801, which would have expanded A/C contractors’ scope of work to include replacing pool heaters.

Next up, he’ll be testifying on the copper wire bonding issue currently under review by the state legislature.

At Symbiont Service, we’re honored to have a hand in promoting legislation that not only improves the pool industry, but also benefits swimming pool owners throughout the state.
