iGarden and French Swimming Federation Forge Strategic Partnership to Innovate Water Technologies
In a groundbreaking development for the swimming and technology sectors in France, iGarden, a forward-thinking brand of Fairland Group, has officially announced a strategic partnership with the Fédération Française de Natation (FFN). This partnership, unveiled during a special event in Nice, represents a pivotal moment for both organizations and emphasizes their commitment to advancing intelligent water technologies in the region.
The event was a notable gathering of French athletes, media representatives, distributors, and influencers, with special guests including Olympic legends Alain Bernard and Fabien Gilot. This collaboration deviates from conventional sports sponsorship as FFN selected iGarden not merely for its branding opportunities but for its premium standards, reliability, and long-term value proposition.
FFN, recognized by World Aquatics and the French Olympic Committee as the sole swimming organization in France, places high demands on its partners concerning stability, security, and sustainable performance. The integration of iGarden's innovative gardening and pool technologies aligns seamlessly with FFN's professional values. By appointing iGarden as the official partner in smart pool technologies, the standard for such collaborations is being elevated.
At the event, iGarden introduced its strategic plan for penetrating the French market in 2026, outlining the launch phases for its latest Smart Water product line. These offerings include pioneering solutions like the world's first AI-Vision pool-cleaning robot, a state-of-the-art AI Swim Jet system designed for elite training and premium pools, and durable automatic lawnmowers for optimal maintenance. Each product has been meticulously engineered for longevity and efficiency, validating its alignment with FFN's exacting standards.
Addressing the significant challenge of fragmentation in today's smart home market, iGarden has developed an innovative AIoT ecosystem that integrates various devices into a single, smart network. This approach not only facilitates centralized control but also significantly minimizes maintenance time and enhances overall functionality, providing a more efficient and autonomous gardening experience.
During the event, guests were treated to dynamic swimming demonstrations featuring the French national team, where Olympic champions Bernard and Gilot showcased iGarden's technology in action. Attendees observed participants engaging in the Swimjet Challenge while the iGarden pool-cleaning robot effortlessly conducted a demonstration to eliminate calcium deposits from the pool, showcasing the precision, power, and reliability of its products.
Charlene Feng, iGarden's brand manager, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Collaborating with the Fédération Française de Natation confirms our belief in creating technologies that athletes can trust, as we pursue a shared ambition of pushing boundaries. For iGarden, this means crafting experiences that enable families and sports enthusiasts to access water anytime. Launching the iGarden Smart Water ecosystem in France reflects our commitment to ensuring accessibility, reliability, and sustainability in water sports, underpinned by performance that raises the bar for future pool owners."
Gilles Sezionale, president of FFN, echoed the sentiment, remarking, "Our collaboration with iGarden aligns perfectly with our ambitions to develop water practices through innovation. Partnering with an established technology player bolsters our ability to support swimmers, clubs, and communities in achieving a more efficient, modern, and sustainable form of swimming."
As they look towards the future, iGarden and FFN are committed to working closely together to enhance national representation programs and elevate standards across aquatic facilities. This partnership solidifies their dedication to a shared future for water sports and families in France, with FFN affirming iGarden's capacity for delivering long-term reliability, systemic integration, and professional validation. What is validated today for elite athletes will shape consumer expectations for tomorrow, marrying reliability, performance, and ease of use within a unified platform.
