The city needs a 50-meter pool for the growing tri-athlete and open water competitive swimmers. 2. Placing pools at existing school sites is a good opportunity for shared spaces, but also to teach the children how to swim. 3. There is a need for indoor swimming in the community. 4. The Warwick community groups understand the challenges the pool is facing, but would like to see some investment in their park site and meeting spaces. 5. Up to 60-70% of school kids are on free/reduced lunches in some areas of town. 6. Most communities around Alexandria have 50-meter pools. On Thursday morning, May 5th, Mark Hatchel (KHA) and Kevin Post (CH) conducted a meeting with key city staff at City Hall to review the findings and progress to date and to receive comments. Attendees included staff involved in IDR along with Dave Conrath (ACPS), Michael Stewart (OMB), and Chris Bever (OMB). During the meeting, the following comments were noted: 1. School locations should be considered for potential pool sites 2. Planning efforts with the new schools that have been funded should be included in the master planning efforts. 3. Consideration for energy efficient facilities should be considered in the conceptual plans and operational assumptions. 4. New technologies in water treatment should be considered in the conceptual plans and operational assumptions. Note: These notes were prepared by Mark Hatchel and Kevin Post as an accurate accounting of the discussion items on these dates. Page 9
National Trends • Larger and fewer facilities • Multiple bodies of water – Competition – Recreation – All age groups • Spraygrounds • Indoor / Outdoor Mega Facilities Three Municipal Aquatic Master Planning Approaches • Neighborhood Approach – Offer numerous smaller facilities with one body of water for each neighborhood. • Community Approach – Offer multiple medium facilities each with multiple bodies of water located throughout the community. • Central Approach – Offer one centralized facility with several bodies of water to serve the entire community. SWOT Analysis Neighborhood Approach • Strength – Closer proximity to residents • Weakness – Greater operating costs with multiple aquatic centers • Opportunities – Lower capital costs for each facility (phasing) • Threats – Keeping the multiple aquatic centers sustainable with the economy Community Approach • Strength – greater experience for residents • Weakness – Higher capital cost for each facility compared to Neighborhood Approach • Opportunities – Net operations would be reduced compared to Neighborhood approach • Threats – Non-resident users over crowding the facility Central Approach • Strength – Aquatic Master Plan would be realized sooner • Weakness – Longer drive time for most residents • Opportunities – Community hub profile • Threats Page 10
