INDIVIDUAL SPORTS PROGRAM
PROGRAM MISSION: To promote individual growth and development, sportsmanship and
a sense of community.
The Individual Sports Section
provides enjoyable and enriching recreational opportunities through a variety
of activities that promote healthy lifestyles through instructional,
competitive, and therapeutic programs and classes. This Section provides fun
and fitness opportunities including recreational swimming; gymnastics, judo and
swimming instruction; competitive swimming and gymnastics team opportunities
for youth and adults; youth track and field instruction and competitions; and
developmental and specialty sports camp programs for youth. Swimming programs
are offered at the three indoor community swimming pools, jointly operated by
Arlington County and the Arlington Public Schools. Gymnastics and judo programs are offered at the Barcroft Sports
and Fitness Center.
The Aquatics Centers continued the pilot
management structure established in FY 2002 in collaboration with
Arlington Public Schools in the area of pool operations and management. Objectives include the integration and
streamlining of aquatic service delivery, an increase in accountability, the
resolution of staff issues, and the enhancement of safety coverage, building
maintenance and overall program delivery.

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Increase in personnel is due to normal step increases
and reallocation of personnel cost from Team Sports Program to reflect a more
accurate spread of supervisory and administrative resources required in this
section and throughout the Division.
- Decrease
in non-personnel reflects a more accurate spread of administrative resources
required in this section and throughout the Division.
-
Increase in revenue due to fee increases averaging 5
percent for the competitive and community swim programs.
-
As a part of the supplemental fees program, the
Gymnastics team and class program, as well as the swimming classes, recover
100% of the direct costs and administrative overhead of the programs.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES:
Objective: To provide high quality and a wide variety of
individual sports opportunities to the community with appropriate skill
progressions and unstructured activity periods in safe, clean, and well-managed
facilities.
