SWIM REPORT - Rowena Roberge
Ito reported that ihe .;w.t rn Team in sw I mml iv a t Lhe NPI O pool in conjunction
with the Nampa swim team. The two teams are sh-+ ri n;; the expense of 1 coach
but it is costing them $31.00 a day to use the NNC pool. Our swimmers are
having to pay $30.00 each. She figures because of the cost to the individual
swimmer they have lost a few swimmers and the number is down to between 9 & 11
swimmers from Caldwell. Nampa ham enough money left at the end of their
year to subsidize their swimmers, but Caldwell doeun't and does not have the
money available.
Discussion followed Ro' s report and the Commission felt some type of subsidy
should be provided for Lour Winter Swim program with the hopes that more
children would be able to take advantage of the program. Different means of
making money were suggested by commission members for Ro to take back to her
club.
