Aquatics After a busy fall with large numbers of youth joining our programs, we are teaching swimming lessons and hosting fitness programs six days a week. We are busy recruiting and training new staff. I have interviewed four candidates in January; three are moving on to take the lifeguard class. The last class was February 10-12. We are focusing on fitness each month this fall. January’s was focus is the therapeutic rec programs. February will continue with all adult fitness programs. We have been researching the cost of admission and classes at the aquatics center. I have submitted a proposed change in drop-in fees. With the cost of labor and materials increasing, I asked for an approximately 10% increase for city residents. It is not exactly equal, some prices are adjusted to meet other goals. We are maintaining our outreach to people who have a senior fitness program (Silver & Fit, etc). Currently we have 292 people active in the program. This is about 10% more than last year. The youth swim team is continuing to gain skills, but the numbers have not increased. The high-school programs are in their last week. In addition, we are planning our schedule of events. A.
