In February, The National Swimming Pool Foundation asked Sue Nelson, Aquatic Program Specialist at USA Swimming, to share with you her expertise in creating sustainable aquatic facilities – and a model for profitability in their Prevention Advisor eNewsletter.

The eNewsletter details the programs and financials from the aquatic business model that was implemented by Sue Nelson and her husband, Mick during their 40 year stint as rural aquatic business owners.

It is critical to learn how to budget for an aquatic center and Sue’s stories and examples get pretty granular in laying out everything from operations to classes and provides hard dollar figures for budgets that cover necessary items and make sense for making your aquatic business viable.

The article is provided in PDF format and it might be a good resource to save. Sue really provides an amazing level of information that you may find valuable to reference over and over again. Read (and save a copy of) Programming with Predictable Income for Sustainability.
