Overview
Mission
To foster competitive swimming among children and to provide the instruction and training necessary to enable them to compete in swim meets. We work to achieve our purpose by encouraging our swimmers to work hard, be disciplined, work as a team, set goals, and swim with confidence. We also promote and support the academic success of our athletes. We are a year round competitive swim team.
What it reported doing in 2024
Training & meets for long-course and short-course seasons. Swimmers attended 19 short course and 8 long course meets during the year. The number of swimmers from the club attending varied from a high of 96 to a low of 10 for short course meets, and a high of 47 to a low of 2 for long course. The lower participation meets tend to be states, zone and sectional meets which require qualifying times, and those are typically "finals" meets that are at the end each season.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
