Hot dog. Your administrator is finally on board and the new facility is going to include a therapy pool. Or you have finally decided to stop using the pool at the local Y or hotel. Unfortunately, you’ve been assigned the task of determining how much to budget for
the construction and yearly operations of the pool. Gulp.
Getting the ball rolling The first smart decision you can make is to attend a conference and/or hire a consultant to help you with the project. This is too big a potential money-pit to have a novice making decisions.
Here are the best resources available to help you design your pool right the first time.
