From conversations with those “in the know,” too many people that make decisions with pools look at them as “money pits.” But that’s because they build pools catered to “pass holders” with toys and gimmicks involved. No one has ever thought that a swim team, with a proper natatorium, can make it work financially (talking making over 600k per year if done right).
That’s not even rental fees for meets.
*Dixie State built a world class facility that was rented out almost every weekend for meets this last year. This was due to the fact that there was no other facility like it in Utah.
