Lap Swim Subsidy and Membership Restructuring
Summary
Lap swim is subsidized at 92% of its true cost, and a full cost-based price would be over $41 per visit — unaffordable for the mostly senior and working-adult swimmers who use it. Staff will study creating a standalone lap swim membership and limiting or removing the unlimited lap swim benefit in sports center packages.

Impact analysis
Pool maintenance alone consumes 25% of the public works maintenance team's time since July, driving the high subsidy.
Regular lap swimmers keep affordable access if the city treats pools like parks with a baseline facility subsidy.
