Maximize Profits By Maximizing Pool Space
LET'S TALK LAP SWIMMING
Over the weekend, my daughter and I visited our local big box gym to swim laps. When we arrived, there were 5 people in the 3-lane, 25-yard, indoor lap pool and it was "technically full". The closest lane had a pretty serious swimmer in it. Her arms cleanly sliced through the water, she was timing herself and switching up her strokes from freestyle to butterfly to backstroke. When I asked if we can share the lane, she responded, "I swim really fast." I replied, "Great, so does my daughter." The middle lane had 1 person making their way painstakingly down the middle, dead focused on following the center, black line. The far lane had 3 women with styrofoam dumbells and noodles moving their mouths more than their bodies. I studied the scene to see where best I could swim then gave up and jumped in the lane with the talkers. I grabbed my combat gloves, turned on my headset, and proceeded to have my own private aqua combat session. It's a long story to get to this point:
"For average lap swimmers (not swim team or masters) 2 people per lane is generally the maximum amount of people that can pleasantly swim in a lane."
For this particular lap pool that translates to only 6 people per hour.
That's 1,845 sq ft. for 6 people!
MAKING THE SHIFT: LAP SWIMMING TO GROUP CLASSES
Switching over from all-day dedicated lap swimming to dynamic group exercise classes increases your pool's maximum occupancy exponentially, making your facility more money.
SPACE = MONEY
It's a simple equation. The more people you have using your pool space the more revenue your facility receives.
