AGENDA TITLE
Facility Use Agreement with Orange County Gold for Competitive Youth Swim Team
Programming at Designated City Aquatics Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a facility use agreement with Orange County Gold
("OC Gold") for aquatics programming at designated City aquatic facilities, for a term
beginning May 1, 2026, and expiring April 30, 2027, with provisions for two (2), one-year
extensions (Agreement A-2026-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE 484308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA)
operates public aquatic facilities that provide recreational and instructional swimming
opportunities for the community. In addition to City-operated programs, PRCSA
periodically partners with qualified aquatics organizations to expand programming
opportunities for youth and enhance utilization of City aquatic facilities.
OC Gold is a nonprofit aquatics organization serving youth throughout Orange County.
Founded in 1989 and previously known as Orange Regional Competitive Aquatics
(ORCA), the organization provides year-round aquatic programming including
competitive swim team training, swim technique development, and private competitive
swimming instruction.
OC Gold has extensive experience operating competitive youth swim programs
throughout Orange County and is affiliated with USA Swimming, providing structured
training opportunities for swimmers of varying skill levels. Partnering with an established
aquatics organization allows the City to expand competitive swimming opportunities for
youth without the additional staffing, administrative oversight, and operational resources
that would be required to develop and manage a City-operated competitive swim team.
This approach enables PRCSA to continue focusing on providing broad community

aquatics programming, including swim lessons, recreational swim, and water safety
education, while leveraging the expertise of a specialized organization to deliver
competitive training opportunities.
The proposed agreement would allow OC Gold to conduct structured year-round swim
team practices and private instructional opportunities at designated City aquatic facilities
during scheduled times approved by PRCSA staff. Programming would focus on youth
participants and emphasize swimming skill development, water safety, physical
conditioning, and sportsmanship. This pilot program will commence in May 2026 at
Jerome Pool until the team is able to transition to the new Memorial Park Aquatics
Center, once construction is complete. This partnership supports activation of the newly
constructed Memorial Park Aquatics Center by introducing structured programming that
increases facility utilization and expands recreational opportunities for youth in the
community.
OC Gold will be responsible for staffing bilingual coaches, participant registration, and
program administration. All coaches will be required to meet applicable safety,
certification, and insurance requirements established by the City. Additionally, the
agreement prohibits OC Gold from conducting unauthorized commercial activities at
City facilities. OC Gold will charge monthly dues of$85/participant, in comparison to
their $110-$150/month dues in Tustin, Villa Park, and Orange, in order to provide
financially accessible programming to the Santa Ana community.
The monthly $500 fee assessed by the City will permit OC Gold to use three (3)
swimming lanes at either Jerome Pool or Memorial Park Aquatics Center, once
available, for approximately 28 hours per month. Additional lanes may be requested at a
rate of$17.57 per lane per hour. The proposed rate for non-exclusive use is consistent
with industry standards and ensures the City has the flexibility to schedule additional
users concurrently under the same framework.
Approval of this agreement will expand youth aquatics opportunities, particularly at the
newly constructed Memorial Park Aquatics Center, while supporting the City's ongoing
efforts to promote water safety, youth recreation, and community wellness. As this
agreement is structured as a proof of concept, the agreement term is limited to a
maximum of three (3) years, allowing the City to evaluate demand, participation levels,
and overall program viability.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The agreement will generate revenue to the City through established facility use fees, at
a base rate of$6,000/year. Additional revenue may be generated based on participation
levels and additional facility use times and dates beyond those initially established.
