Talking Crap, Crypto & Clever Design with Lesley Beech from Splash About
In this jam-packed episode of Aquatics Only, Luke flies solo (with David off enjoying Bali) and welcomes the show’s first international guest. Lesley Beech, Managing Director of Splash About, joining from the UK with a glass of Savvy B in hand.
From morning sunrises in Brisbane to dusky evenings in Yorkshire, this global chat dives deep into what makes Splash About’s iconic Happy Nappy such a game-changer for swim schools, recreational pools, and the planet. Lesley shares the wild journey behind creating the Happy Nappy DUO, a four-year science-backed mission to combat cryptosporidium outbreaks, reduce pool closures, and keep kids (and water) safer.
We also chat business smarts, sustainability stats that’ll make your stomach turn, and the surprising environmental toll of disposable nappies (spoiler: it's a lot). There’s plenty of laughs, a few poop jokes (naturally), and even a “poonami” reference or two. If you’re in aquatics, parenting, or just love a story where science meets entrepreneurship, this one’s for you.
Plus, Lesley and the Splash About Australia team are headed to SPARK Conference, so listen in for a sneak peek at what’s to come.
A-O? Let’s go!
