[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No pool is perfect and [b]no pool is doing it for the money.[/b]  They pools that have stepped up in the past couple years; Hamlet, LP, Orange Hunt, & Pinecrest, did it for the kids and because they believe in the mission of the NVSL enough to inconvenience their own members for the benefit of all.  
This is also why it makes sense for LP to decline this year if they are questioning the mission.

Any and all pools could make it work if they really wanted.  And yes, this includes the HOA pools.  Those by-laws can be amended and updated same as the NVSL rules - someone just has to take ownership and make it happen.

I've been following this thread and honestly, while we would of course do it for the kids, a big reason why our club would look into hosting would be for the financial benefit. It sounds like next year there might be more of a "guaranteed" financial benefit with the potential collection of entry fees. If a club has a tight budget, $10k is nothing to sneeze at. If members knew that income from an NVSL meet would help offset future dues increases and special assessments, the members might not balk at being closed a couple of days. They might even have the option of attending other nearby clubs' pools during the closure.

If other club boards are like ours, I'm sure many individual board members don't know what all IAS and ASR entail, nor do they know that the NVSL is seeking hosts. Sure, the swim team rep knows, but probably figures we wouldn't be able to host. I'm keeping a mental list of criteria that we would/would not be able to meet and I go back and forth between, "We could pull that off" and "Nah. What are you thinking". I don't think the board would be unwilling to host. They would just have to be convinced that the club has satisfactory facilities and grounds to be able to do so. [/quote]
