DISCUSSION REGARDING A
THE STING SWIM CLUB.
BACKGROUND
On June 21, 2017, the Sting Swim Club reached out to Miami Beach, petitioning for sponsorship
at a City poolfacility.
At the June 28, 2017 Commission Meeting, Commissioner Kristen Rosen-Gonzalez made a
dual referral to discuss this item at both the Neighborhood and Community Affairs Committee
("NCAC") and the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ("FCWPC").
At the June 30, 2017 NCAC meeting, the item was deferred to July.
ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach operates public pools at three different sites: Flamingo Park (8-lane lap
pool), Scott Rakow Youth Center (6-lane x 25 yard pool) and Normandy lsle Park (4-lane lap
pool).
While the City of Miami Beach has existing aquatic facilities that can support lap swimming,
swim lessons and other aquatic programs, the pool at Scott Rakow Youth Center is the primary
location for competitive swimming in the community.
Though the pool at the Scott Rakow Youth Center falls just short of meeting regulation size
specifications, the local Seahawks swim team trains at this pool facility. Miami Beach High
School's swim team utilizes the pool at Flamingo Park from August through November.
The City pools have high usage counts, especially during prime time (early morning and
evenings). For reference, the number of AM and PM lap swimmers for the two larger pools are
listed below:
Scott Rakow Youth Center Pool (6-lane pool). Mornings: Average # of lap swimmers 15-40 (all lanes used between the hours of 6:00
AM - 8:30 AM)
Flamingo Park Pool (8-lane pool). Mornings: Average # of lap swimmers 15-25 (all lanes used between the hours of 6:30
AM - 8:45 AM)

DATE:
SUBJECT:UEST FOR THE CITY TO SPONSOR
10
. Evenings: Average # of lap swimmers 25-40 PM (all lanes used between the hours of
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM)
The Sting Swim Club's practice structure is interval based. Adults have two 1-hour and a half
sessions in the morning and in the evening, Monday through Friday. The youth have five weekly
2-hour evening sessions, Monday through Friday.
Since the Scott Rakow pool also has a heavy load of afternoon youth programming, other swim
teams/programs have always taken a backseat to our resident lap swimmers and high schools
which have priority. lf the City were to accommodate another swim team for training purposes,
the following times could be made available to them without disrupting or displacing our current
residents:
Scott Rakow Youth Center Pool*Tuesday/Thursday/Friday from 7:1Spm - 8:1 Spm
Flamingo Park Pool*Monday through Friday from 5:1Sam - 6:1Sam
* There are additional staffing expenses to accommodate these extended hour options.
Based on the times pool facilities can offer additional programming, the City is unable to
accommodate the Sting Swim Club without disrupting current operations.
Aside from scheduling, the City would also need to consider additional staffing expenses to
accommodate extended hour options as well as any proposed salaries requested by the Sting
Swim Club. The forecast for next year's Parks and Recreation budget does not have availability
to include additional enhancements.
REQUIRED ACTION
Committee direction on whether or not to sponsor the Sting Swim Club, and grant them use of a
City of Miami Beach pool facility to conduct their trainings.

Sting Swim Club Petitions for City of Miami Beach Sponsorship
Head Coach: Mike Green
Assistant Coach: Sandrine Clinton
Sting Swim Club is a community based swim team in beautiful Miami Beach. Our purpose is to
enrich the lives of adults and youth through the sport of swimming. Sting Swim Club is on the
cutting edge of stroke development technique. We maintain a commitment to excellence, safety
and fitness. Our practice structure is interval based. The adults have two one hour and a half
sessions both in the moming and evening Monday through Friday. The youth have five evening
sessions Monday through Friday lasting two hours in length. Our team is affiliated with Florida
Gulf Coast (www.fgcswim.org/ ) and is recognized by both USA Swimming and United States
Masters Swimming (www.usms.org/).
Sting Swim Team's business structure is non profit based with 501c3 designation officially
recognized by both the state of Florida and the IRS. Our team recognizes that our coaching
positions are an extension of Miami Beach's service motto: "....committed to providing excellent
public service and safety to all who live, work and play in our vibrant, tropical historic
community." As with other City sponsored teams (including Ft. Lauderdale), the salaries of the
Head Coach ($45,000) and Assistant Coach ($40,000) and pool rental fees would be
underwritten. Here are some examples of return on investment:
1. Bring Michael Phelps Swim School curriculum to Miami Beach.
2. Raise the competitive profile of this city's athletes by competing in: USA
Swimming, USMS, WOWZA and FNA sanctioned competitions.

3. Work with the city to become a circuit city for FINA's open water swim series.
4. Host National and International Swim Meets at the Miami Beach Convention
Center.
5. Bid for and win as host city for Olympic Trials in2020.
6. Opening of a Pro Swim Shop at Flamingo Pool.
