osted by the European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Associations (EUSA), the annual European Pool and Spa Awards celebrate the most outstanding domestic pools, spas and hot tubs in the water leisure industry, with award winners from across Europe competing for the highest accolades. Each year, EUSA holds an awards event to celebrate the tremendous work of its Association members. The European Pool and Spa Awards are held at different pool and spa exhibitions across Europe, and the 2021 event was the ninth time the event had been held. Last year Spain’s Piscina & Wellness Barcelona exhibition provided the venue on Monday 29 November for the formal awards event, with trophies presented by EUSA president Bert Granderath.

The awards provide a bronze, silver and gold winner in each of the following seven categories: Domestic Indoor Pools, Domestic Outdoor Pools, Domestic Pools with an Enclosure, Domestic Pools with an Automatic Cover, Domestic Pools by Night, Domestic Spas, and Domestic Hot Tubs.
