In a move that signals the growing importance of smart technology in the aquatics industry, iGarden, the innovative brand of Fairland Group, has announced an exclusive strategic partnership with the Fédération Française de Natation (FFN), the French National Swimming Association.
The partnership, revealed in a press release from iGarden, will see the two organizations collaborate to introduce iGarden's cutting-edge smart pool and spa technology to the French market.

'The FFN's deep expertise and strong presence in the French aquatics sector make them an ideal partner to help drive the adoption of our smart technology solutions across the country.'
Under the agreement, iGarden will work closely with the FFN to tailor its products and services to meet the specific needs of the French market. This includes integrating the company's technology with French pool and spa regulations, as well as developing customized training and support programs for FFN members and affiliated facilities.
