EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve County participation in the 5th annual World's Largest Swim Lesson event on June 20, 2014 and authorize the Chairman to sign the World's Largest Swimming Lesson Host Facility Liability and Publicity Release form. Fiscal impact:S4,000. OBJECTIVE: To locally host the national World's Largest Swim Lesson program to raise awareness of water safety and drowning. CONSIDERATIONS: The World Water Park Association sponsors a program to promote the message that swim lessons save lives. More than 35,000 children are expected to participate world-wide this year. Olympic Athletes including gold medalists Rowdy Gaines and Janet Evans serve as spokespeople for this event. The local event, a first for Collier County Parks and Recreation, will be held at Sun-N-Fun Lagoon at the North Collier Regional Park on Friday, June 20 at 11:00am. Community partners include The Safe and Healthy Children's Coalition, City of Naples,Naples YMCA,Naples Community Hospital,North Naples Fire Department, Collier County EMS, and The American Red Cross. Our goal is to have 1500 children participate in a swim lesson at the same time. if successful, this would break the current single facility record in the Guinness Book of World Records. Participants will not be charged a Sun-N-Fun Lagoon entrance fee to participate in this event and will be allowed to remain in the park until 2:00 pm. Participants will be limited to those children participating in local summer camp programs. In order to accommodate the event, Sun-N-Fun will be closed to the public from 10:00 am— 12:00 pm and will open to the public at noon and close at 7:00 pm. FISCAL IMPACT: It is anticipated that the event will have a fiscal impact of$4,000, with $3,000 in transportation and $1,000 in personnel costs for additional lifeguards. Funding is available in the MSTD General Fund (111) Summer Camp cost center(156320) and General Fund (001) Sun-N-Fun Lagoon cost center(156314). The loss of revenue resulting from closing Sun-N-Fun Lagoon to the general public from 10:00 am to noon will be offset by extending operational hours an additional two hours and closing at 7:00 pm. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this item.
