Aquatics Division Report
November 2012
Last month was a good month for the Aquatics division. We completed the structural
engineering and we are just waiting to hear back on the result. Early indicators are that we will have to
do a little, but nothing major. We have implemented a new program in which secret swimmers are
looking for the most professional shifts. The shifts that are voted the most professional earn small prizes
as motivation to do their job the best. We have completed our change over to CO2 for pH control, and it
has been very successful. We will have savings over liquid acid in the range of $700 per month, not to
mention that it is much safer for the staff to handle. We are looking into pool toys to create more family
times at the Swim Center. Hopefully within the next two months we will be creating new family swim
times on the weekend. Swim lesson continue to be full, and as we move into high school swim team
season, the pool is very crowded. Last week we had over 1000 visits to the pool. Next month we will be
looking at making sure that we can have some recreational swim time during the winter break, and
finishing up our CIP and budget planning.
