Aquatics (Tanya Richardson)

OTSD utilized the aquatic center for the Sandy High School water polo season which ended at the end of October.  They used the pool for practices M-F from 3:15 – 5:15pm. Additionally, they hosted 8 water polo games.  Total amount of hours of use was 90 hours with no charge. The High School swim team began practices on November 13th with practice M-F from 3:15pm – 5:15pm and will continue through February.

Group lesson session finished up in November with a total of 101 participants for the last session. As group lesson sessions completed we saw an increase in private lessons with over 58 lessons taught for the month of November.

The aquatic center had over 550 participants in the various activities such as lap swim, open recreational swim, and water exercise classes.  In addition to the movie shoot rental, 12 Birthday parties were hosted, and Empire water polo continues to rent the pool to provide youth water polo practices.
