Abstract

Swimming has deep-roots on Prince Edward Island. Through examining secondary data from a variety of sources including swim clubs, pool owners and operators, provincial sport organizations, and national sport organizations the intentions for this study is to determine what impacts publicly funding swimming pools have on Prince Edward Island. With public tax dollars being contributed to the operations of these facilities, the facilities are often subject to scrutiny of the return on investments through the eyes of the tax payers. By compiling, analyzing, and describing the data obtained in this study, the researcher hopes that the impact these facilities make on Prince Edward Island will be clearer for all those interested parties. Through the analysis of longitudinal data, trends pertaining to participation in swimming sports, employment opportunities, and the number certified potential employees will be described. Key learning outcomes from the study will be available as well as recommendations to address these outcomes and trends within the industry.
