WWFY PRESENTATION ON MOVE TO MAHACKENO
Our April Meeting began with a presentation from Ian Bruce, Rob Reeves, and Peter Curtin regarding our Move to Mahackeno. They are optimistic that the development will be ready by Labor Day, 2014.
This project is currently in the Capital Campaign Stage. Once sufficient capital has been raised, the construction will take place in 3 Phases:
- Reconstructing Exit 42
- Constructing a Waste Treatment Facility
- Building project itself. The pool will be 25 yards by 16 lanes, which will allow for much more flexibility with regard to scheduling practices and meets.
USA SWIMMING
Chris has been keeping a tally of scratches relays totaling $112.00. This is often caused when one swimmer does not show up to a meet.
Swim caps-Proposal to charge $15.00 for caps.
MEET COORDINATOR
It is proposed that we ensure that there is a representative from Metro available at our meets to sell swim gear (goggles, caps, etc).
