- $597,110 spent. Swiminc currently operates and maintains outdoor recreational swimming facilities for use by the residents of the City and the School District. These facilities consist of an outdoor complex, which includes: three heated pools, including two slides, diving well, and infant pool; splash pad; picnic shelter; concession stand; surrounding deck and grass area. The outdoor facilities are available for use for a daily admission fee or with a purchase of a summer seasonal pass. Swiminc served over 4,000 members and provided over 10,000 individual admissions this year. By providing outdoor recreational swimming facilities for residents of the City and the School District, Swiminc significantly lessens the burdens of the government for the City, as described in Treas. Reg. 1.501(c)(3)-1(d). Were it not for the recreational swimming facilities provided by Swiminc, the City would face considerable public pressure to build, operate and maintain comparable recreational facilities for use by the residents of the City and School District. A copy of Resolution No. 36-2001, passed on October 9, 2001, acknowledges the significant contributions of Swiminc in lessening the burdens of the City by providing community recreational swimming facilities.
