Minutes by: Amy Vendt-
Tom opened the meeting at 6:30pm with a quote from Theodore Dofkevysky
Minutes from the March meeting were approved as written.
Summer Pool Schedule:
a. Issue: only 4 lanes f )r swim team: Amy & Donna explained that this is the
first year Swim team has been here during the summer. In order to
accommodate Swim Team, classes, lap and open that is the maximum
number of lanes we can offer Mike at this time. If classes do not run that
can be modified. Mike is aware that he will only have 4 lanes.
b. Issue: Tues/Thurs. 3:00-3:30. For this '/z hour there are currently only 2
lanes available for open swim as Physical Therapy has 2 lanes, camp has 3
lanes and 1 lanes is available for lap. Mary Ellen expressed her concern
that as the %2 hour in question is right at the beginning of our Open swim
time that 2 lanes is not enough. It sends the wrong message. Dan
suggested the possibility of canceling lap for that %2 hour. Concern was
expressed about the message sent for canceling lap. Amy shared that last
years numbers showed an average of 2 lap swimmers a day during that
time and for open there was an average of 5 on Tues and 3 on Thursday.
Amy suggested that if we had a large number of both Lap and open
swimmers come on a particular day then Camp could be squeezed into 2
lanes with the small pool for that day. Klaus presented that in his opinion
that when we leave flexibility up to the Lifeguards it comes across to
participants as more people friendly.
Summary: Advertise as lap/open, based on last year's usage rates, this
helps not alienate anyone. Allow the Lifeguards flexibility to make
changes as necessary. If in the first couple of weeks we see large numbers
the schedule can be changed.
2. Swim Team:
a. Ken - Team done for the year
b. Cam - over 60 kids for summer team, almost all are returning swimmers
from the fall.
c. Austin Prep - want to hang banner in pool area
d. ACTION PLAN: Have dimensions for RMHS & Austin Prep banner.
Want banners to be similar in size and shape and go up at the same time..
Have prices for next meeting (Ken/Lois).
3. Statistics: slight increase in lap swimmers. A small decrease on Saturdays.
4. Spring II numbers: as of today were approx. 70% of budget, $15,000 behind in
revenue for Spring I. Some of this is K vouchers. We have been receiving many
more than was budgeted.
ACTION: Have voucher numbers for next meeting
