WHY AQUATICS IS IMPORTANT •
Swimming boosts overall health • Swimming supports our health & boosts our immune system – Water temperatures that are lower than ones body temperature cause the body to adapt, creating resistance to illness, like the flu and colds. It also helps breathing, especially for those with asthma •
Swimming aids in rehabilitation of injuries and post operations - Water allows people to move with less body weight due to its unique gravity condition
•
Swimming is part of physical education and water safety – It’s often part of a school’s curriculum. Individuals that desire to participate in water sports such as snorkeling or white water rafting must be able to swim

WHY AQUATICS IS IMPORTANT •
More benefits • Swimming is a full body exercise: It tones & strengthens our muscles, cardiovascular and respiratory systems • A person can burn up to 900 calories per hour swimming • Swimming has a very low risk of injury • Swimming is affordable and can be substituted for other sports Source: Health Assistant, (2008, Aug.) “12 reasons why swimming is good for our health.” Health Assistant; Luebbers, Matt (2009, March) What’s good about swimming.

WHY AQUATICS IS IMPORTANT •
Interesting Facts • When osteoarthritis patients complete the same exercise in water versus land, there is less pain and energy expenditure •
A 32 year study of over 40,000 men ages 20 to 90 showed swimmers were 50% less likely to die during the study period than walkers or runners

BACKGROUND INFO – DECATUR PARK DISTRICT MASTER PLAN • SWIMMING HAS THE HIGHEST PARTICIPATION OF ANY SPORTS ACTIVITY • SWIMMING FACILITIES NEEDED ON DISTRICT WIDE BASIS • SOMETHING LARGE SCALE THAT TARGETS MULTIPLE USER GROUPS • NELSON PARK IS A GOOD LOCATION – FAIRVIEW POOL AUDIT • RENOVATIONS NEEDED AT FAIRVIEW AQUATICS CENTER • SEPARATE FILTRATION SYSTEMS FOR SPRAYGROUND • RENOVATED BATHHOUSE FOR POOL
BACKGROUND INFO – THE CURRENT POOL HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE • LEAKS AND CONSIDERABLE RENOVATIONS NEED TO BE DONE • A RESTORATION WILL ONLY ADD UP TO 15 YEARS TO ITS FUNCTION • AFTERWARDS A COMPLETE DEMO AND REBUILD WILL BE REQUIRED
ISSUES WITH FAIRVIEW PARK – Current pool and pool mechanicals are from 1991 – The current bath house is from 1966 – The creek often floods and closes roads to the pool – Area is limited for parking and pool expansion – Water and sewer lines are limited – Limited access to internet connection – Un-intended users during night-hours (vandalism)
