What to say about Thursday at IASS Abu Dhabi, other than there was some M.A.D.ness!!

Sarhece Serna and Roel van den Berk and their team expertly hosted some epic interactive first aid training sessions yesterday. We also moved out of the technical training teachbacks into aquatics leadership sessions via the Ellis and Associates, Inc. vanGUARD program, heard some inspiring true stories from other faculty members and then spent the evening reconnecting with our various different colleagues and companies at dinner.

12/02/2026

Wednesday at IASS Abu Dhabi saw our students start their teachback sessions and refining their technical skill, but also develop their leadership competency and self awareness with a session on emotional intelligence.

Being in a leadership and instructor position is something we see as a privilege, and we’re incredibly proud and humbled by the way every attendee has embraced this responsibility with passion, purpose and pride.

Yesterday was another great day at IASS Abu Dhabi! Skill review is all completed and today we'll start to see our instructor candidates rocking their teachback sessions.

Let our EAgles Ahmed Aziz and Renee Stewart take you through all that Day 2 had in store for us!

08/02/2026

Its been over 60 hours of planning to get faculty and attendees of 21 different nationalities traveling from 9 different countries to join the International Aquatic Safety School Abu Dhabi 2026!

We saw prophecies from the Order of the PhEANix and soared above the skies with EAgles before retuning to earth to cultivate the lands and harvest with the EA Ranchers. Of course, you can't have park operations without a little M.A.D.ness, so the energy is high and the standards are SET!

Hearing from Jeffrey L Ellis himself was a humbling start to the week ahead, as all of us look to learn, empower and develop ourselves and subsequently our facilities by making a difference.

Here's to a GREAT week ahead - kicking off with pre-reqs tomorrow morning!
