From this:

Destin Leadership Team

Since the beginning of our efforts, support for the ECFF

has come from Destin residents . As the prospects for the

Destin Aquatic Center have developed, several of them

have stepped up to serve as the ECFF’s Destin Leadership

Team, which will lead the way in coordinating our efforts

in fund-raising, project management, and program

operations. They bring tremendous enthusiasm,

knowledge, experience and dedication to this project,

along with their ties to the Destin community. We are

fortunate to have them “on board” to help us. Please

support them in their endeavors any way you can.

Benefitting from Experience, Creating a New Vision

The Destin Aquatic Center

After almost two years of abandonment and decay, the

Emerald Coast Fitness Foundation has entered into a long-

term lease agreement with the Mattie Kelly Arts

Foundation to renovate and re-open the Destin Aquatic

Center. Much needs to be done to re-open the pools; and

more needs to be done to fully realize the potential of this

beautiful facility. The ECFF and its Destin Leadership

Team are seeking to employ a model similar to that of the

successful effort to reopen the Bernie R. Lefebvre Aquatic

Center in Fort Walton Beach:

Conduct clean-up and renovation to make the pools

and locker rooms operational

Establish and operate a schedule of program and

partner time allocation that offers a full range of

aquatic activities for the diverse members of the

community

Add enhancements including heating and enclosing

the recreational pool, revitalizing the fitness trail,

and improving spectator seating for the competition

pool

All capital improvements will be funded with

donations. Operating expenses, including rent paid

to the MKAF to support its programs, will be offset

by revenue generated by pool programs and

partners.

As with FWB, no long-term debt or pledges will be

incurred in this endeavor. Fiscal responsibility is a

primary objective in the ECFF’s business plans.

Donations are needed now to reopen this

facility

Donation Levels
