size of pool subsidy made clear

How many swimmers and how many lanes does MDAC use on average on a daily basis? The average seems to be 50-60 swimmers per day, but how many lanes does that require? In Hialeah at $45 per swimmer per month an average of 50 swimmers would bring in 27k. At MDC at $8 per lane per hour for 4 lanes would bring in 30k per year. Dade rates of $7 per lane per hour would bring in $26,208 per year for four lanes, by my figures. IF they use more than 4 lanes it would be more, of course. And doesnt begin to address the revenues from meets, of course, as that should add several thousands more in income we should receive. Using 4 lanes and only 50 swimmers per day is using conservative figures, of course, but it will give an idea of what we SHOULD be receiving from renting our pool for practices.
