Budget for UANA

Erin

In case you missed the information meeting this past Sunday, here is the gist.

UANA is the Masters version of the Pan Am games. VMS hasn't attended a UANA meet before, but we know swimmers who have gone and had a great time. It is held in Florida July 25-27 and if previous history of American-hosted synchro meets is any indication it will likely be a well-run and enjoyable event!

It takes place at the YMCA in Orlando, Florida. The events are Tech routines on Wednesday, July 25th, Free duets on Thursday, July 26th, Free team and Combo on Friday, July 27th. There is 'warm-up time' for synchro July 22-24th... we don't have any details of what that means... but we would expect you'd want to be in Orlando for Tuesday as there could be spacing.

Rhonda kindly did up a budget of what costs to expect. Based on bringing one coach; she estimated that the total cost per athlete would ring in at about $2113 (plus your own food and entertainment costs). This includes an expected $550 in training costs April-July in Vancouver + flights, hotel, meet registration costs and coach accommodation, coaching hours and travel.

This budget included hotel costs of about $115 USD/night ($724.50CAD for 5 nights). There is a huge variance in the hotel costs in Orlando - and while we often stay together as a team/club, it isn't mandatory. There are traditional hotels and then there are apartment-hotels with full kitchens if you prefer self-catering.

We've already done some fundraising so the cost of one coach's flights to Orlando are already covered! (We had a trivia night February 24th and raised over $500 for coach transportation costs!).

This estimate was based on bringing 15 athletes to the competition (about 2 teams) so the costs could go up or down based on actual numbers.

We have put in a letter of intention to Synchro Canada that we plan to send athletes. We'd like to sort this out by the end of March, so please let your coach know if you are seriously interested in attending by March 31st - we will sort out the rest of the details shortly thereafter.
