FREQUENTLY ASKEd QUESTIONS General Facility Questions How long are the new pools in terms of a workout? If you are working out in the Lazy River, it would take 45 laps to walk a mile. In the Wellness Pool, 88 lengths of the pool would be a mile (44 laps down & back). In the Lap Lanes it is 25 yds. (35 down and back) to equal one mile. What play features are in your Activity Pool? We have multiple new play features including our Lazy River, vortex, spray features such as a large whale tail, mushroom toy, underwater features, and more. Our Activity Pool also features zero-depth entry and underwater benches. Are mermaid tail skins allowed in the facility? Unfortunately, they are not. STAR GUARD guidelines state they're not permitted in an aquatics facility. Because we must follow these guidelines to remain compliant; we currently do not allow them. The mono fin that is inside IS allowed.

District Strategic plan QUICK LINKS Administration Budget and Finance Policy and Procedures Board Resolutions Strategic Plan Purchasing/Contracts Public Works Public Records Request Employment Current Strategic Plan: 2020-2025 Strategic planning is intended to answer the following questions: “Where are we now, Where do we want to go, and How will we get there?” The Shore Metropolitan Park District Strategic Plan provides direction regarding major initiatives anticipated during a rolling five-year planning period. The Plan is written to address community and facility needs, and the goals established by the Board of Commissioners, Citizen’s Advisory Committee and staff to reflect the core values expressed in the District’s Mission and Values Statements. The Strategic Plan is reviewed and revised each year during the budgeting process with discussions between the Board of Commissioners, Citizen’s Advisory Committee and staff. It influences the scheduling and funding of projects identified in the District’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and guides the creation of the annual budget and goals set for each year. The Strategic Plan is composed of three strategic initiatives that address our core functional areas and maintain our strategic values. These initiatives are based upon work and input from the Citizens Advisory Committee, staff, customers and community. These strategic initiatives are core to the mission and vision of the District and do not change from year to year. They are areas that we will always continue to pursue and improve. Strategic Initiative #1: Exceeding Customer Expectations Goal #1: Increase the number of programs and events for all ages and socio-economic groups to increase the use of the District facility; Goal #2: Develop on-going training for customer service and financial transactions; Goal #3: Find opportunities to increase positive cooperative relationships and partnerships; Goal #4 : Establish electronic and social media presence to distribute District information. Strategic Initiative #2: Long Term Financial Stability Goal #1: Increase earned revenue to reduce reliance on tax revenue; Goal #2: Maintain adequate reserved balance fund levels; Goal #3 : Create sinking fund to provide for long-term equipment replacement; Goal #4: Implement best practices in finance and accounting. Strategic Initiative #3: Safety and Operational Excellence Goal #1: Provide the safest possible environment for the public and employees; Goal #2: Increase the use of certified instructors for programming; Goal #3: Increase compliance with accessibility and ADA standards with the facility; Goal #4 : Increase staff retention for all positions. Goal #5: Implement natural succession to limit managerial turbulence. While this Strategic Plan represents a final product, it is a living document and the strategic planning process is ongoing. An evaluation of our strategic initiatives and goals relative to established metrics for achievement takes place annually during the budget process.
