Dear Coaches and swimmers,
I am in the process of putting together a 5 year plan for our masters swim team. Our facility administration and board have asked the master team to put together a plan for the future of our team. I currently gathering information and I need some help.
I would like to get some data from all of you out there on pool usage. I need to know a couple of things. If you only have some of the information that is ok.... give me as much as you can.
1. How many team members are on your team?
2. How many workouts do you have scheduled per day and per week?
3. How many coaches do you have?
4. What is the average number of swimmers each workout or swimmers per lane.
5. What kind of rental fee do you have?
6. Is the team an independent group renting the pool or is the team a organized program within the pool?
7. Do you have paid coaches? What are they paid?
I would like to hear from big teams, medium size teams, and small teams. Currently our team has 100+ members and I will be focusing alot of my stats on the 100+ teams that reply. But I want some comparison. I would appreciate any help......
Thanks
