Platinum Aquatics (PLAT) is a year-round, competitive swim team training
at both the Ft. Bend Family YMCA, and the Stafford
City
Pool. Our program serves a diverse group of local swimmers ages 5 to 18.
These young people are amazingly dedicated and disciplined athletes;
practicing up to 22 hours/week and logging 50 km+/week of quality stroke
and endurance training year round. To maintain the high quality
competitive swimming program PLAT is known for, while continuing to
offer affordable programming for its families, is an on-going challenge.
Platinum Aquatics is a non-profit corporation requiring considerable
capital to fund its continuing year-round operations.
Our club has an operating budget which includes pool expenses, coach and
staff salaries, meet travel expenses, continuing education for coaches
and volunteers and a variety of other organizational costs. Unlike some
youth organizations, coaches affiliated with USA Swimming are
professionals in their field and must maintain strict requirements to
continue coaching. Our principal sources of income include registration
and participation fees paid by our families, fundraising money raised by
our families, and charitable contributions from generous sponsors like
you.
