| - I'd be happy to work with top PPS administrators to eliminate hurdles and form an endeavor, PPS H2O. Without a doubt, a robust aquatics program would pull its own weight with finances. Significant funds ($50,000 per year) can be generated by the aquatics programs at Obama and PPS. The students, the swim team, the athletic department, the school, and the district benefits. Existing facilities and proven leadership can be leveraged to everyone's advantage making “PPS H2O” a city-wide proving ground for community enrichment, cooperation, and competitive sports programs.

| - I'd be happy to work with top PPS administrators to eliminate hurdles and form an endeavor, PPS H2O. Without a doubt, a robust aquatics program would pull its own weight with finances. Significant funds ($50,000 per year) can be generated by the aquatics programs at Obama and PPS. The students, the swim team, the athletic department, the school, and the district benefits. Existing facilities and proven leadership can be leveraged to everyone's advantage making “PPS H2O” a city-wide proving ground for community enrichment, cooperation, and competitive sports programs. Money can be generated with user fees, sponsorships/grants, special events and sales. The aquatic programs can be made to be viable with incomes that exceed expenses. Business plan documents that detail additional income activities (S6, Tech Captains, etc.) are available. With PPS H2O, long-term cuts can be made to the PPS budget. Example 1: In 1992, a weekend YMCA invitational swim meet at Plum HS in a 6-lane pool, earned $10,000. In meets alone, Pittsburgh should be offering 5 to 12 meets a year at our pools, earning $50,000 to $120,000.
