AGENDA STATEMENT - March 13, 1990

The 1990 Aquatics Season will mark the third year that the City of Dublin
has had responsibility for the Dublin Swim Center. In the past two seasons,
staff has introduced a number of new programs, some which have met with
great success and some which have failed. Based on evaluations from the
1989 season, the biggest area of dissatisfaction with the program was the
lack of swim lessons both in the morning and evening. In order to expand
the instructional swim program, staff is recommending that the handicapped
swim program through Tri-Valley SELPA be relocated to another valley pool
for the 1990 season. Dublin has made the swim center available for this
program for over five years and as it is a program which serves handicapped
children from San Ramon to Livermore, staff feels that it is reasonable for
one of the other Cities to host the program. With the relocation of this
program, one additional hour of lessons can be added in the morning which
will add ten additional classes. Additionally, staff is proposing that the
pool be closed for recreational swimming at 5:00p.m. instead of 5:30p.m., as
attendance drops off dramatically during this half hour. This would allow
for an additional five to six classes in the evening. To compensate for the
lose of afternoon recreational swimming time, staff proposes to increase the
number of Family Swim Nights from one night to three nights.
The other common complaint during the past two seasons was the condition of
the pool and deck. With the recent renovation, staff feels confident that
this problem has been adequately addressed.
It is the recommendation of staff that the Commission review and comment on
the proposed schedule of classes and programs proposed for the 1990 Aquatics
Season.
