APS – Acqua Performance System is Santos FC’s new partner

Acqua Performance System, known as APS, has become Santos FC's newest partner in their high-performance structure. The innovative methodology, designed by Pai e Filho Assessoria, a leading expert in large-scale and shared-use swimming pools, aims to revolutionize the aquatic environment for athletes' training, recovery, and preparation routines.

Unlike traditional pool treatments, APS takes an athlete-focused approach, combining precise chemical management, continuous monitoring of water parameters, automation, filtration efficiency, and complementary technologies. Its primary focus is on eliminating factors that cause respiratory, eye, and skin discomfort in athletes who frequently use the pool. By creating a tailored aquatic environment, APS seeks to provide athletes with better conditions to train, recover, and reach their full potential.

Pai e Filho Assessoria, with over 30 years of experience in shared-use pools, has developed APS using the knowledge accumulated from their operation and management of large aquatic facilities. The methodology is exclusively intended for training centers and environments connected to high-performance sports. At CT Rei Pelé, the work will be implemented in the swimming facilities used by Santos FC athletes, focusing on technical monitoring and precise control of water quality-related parameters.

Nikolas Ladeia, director of Pai e Filho Assessoria, explains that in high-performance sports, even the smallest details matter. Their goal is to make water an element that supports athletes' preparation and recovery processes. The incorporation of APS at CT Rei Pelé signifies a partnership between Santos FC and Pai e Filho Assessoria, integrating a methodology that unites water, recovery, and high performance into athletes' daily routines.
