I'm currently on a family aquatics task force for the city of Greenwood, Ind., (City of Pride & Progress). After reviewing your article, "Secrets to Their Success" (Oct. 2004), I can't agree more with you.
Our biggest problem is educating the public on the benefits of a new aquatics facility. Our current pool is approximately 46 years old and falling into disrepair. It doesn't meet the city's growing needs and the city loses approximately $80,000 per year on it.
Our task force spent the last two years doing the following:
* Studying our current pool.
* Putting together and implementing a community survey (84 percent are in favor
of a new aquatics facility).
* Studying aquatics trends.
