If aquatic programs were to be truly "user pay" all program fees would have to double;
something the majority of users can ill afford.
The following factors affect the net position of our aquatic facility and programs:
1) fees charged
2) participation level
3) efficient use of program time
4) marketing
5) efficient operation of the physical

It is our intention here to
Increase Participation
In an effort to increase participation in our aquatic programs we propose the
following:
1) Continue to send the semi annual brochure to all households in the community.
The increased Fall & Winter 1985 -86 registrations can be directly attributed to the
brochure distribution.
2) Decrease fees for programs.(see attached)
3) Decrease length of classes for younger age groups. Concern has been expressed that
classes are too long for smaller children. Based on studies on attention span and
the childrens susceptibility to colder water, shorter classes are warranted for
younger children.
4) Decrease length of sessions from 15 to 12 classes. This will allow us to conduct
one extra full session per year. The following sessions would be offered: Winter
Session (Jan. - April); Spring Session (April - June); Summer Session (July &
August); Fall Mini Session (September); Fall Session (October - December).

Attached please find the proposed new aquatic program fees proposed for the Spring Mini
Session 1986 up to and including the Fall Session 1987. As with facility rental rates
these fees will be established in the Spring of the current year (ie. the 1988 fees
will be established in the Spring of 1987).
It is anticipated that the changes proposed will increase participation hence increase
revenues.
