California Dolphin Swim School
Business Proposal
Version 2.1
1. Executive Summary
CDSS, a fast-growing swim school, is looking for a long-term win-win partnership with the
city of Cupertino and requesting a five-year lease starting at $60K/yr for the swimming pool
facility at the Cupertino Sports Center. Recognizing the needs for the renovation of the aged
pool facility, CDSS is proposing a two phases renovation project with a total estimated costs of
$1.8M and considering to contribute up to $500K to the project on the second phase. CDSS is
co-founded by a former world champion. We believe that we can bring tremendous goodwill to
the city, offering high quality swim lessons and rich aquatic programs to the local citizens and
communities. This document is just a proposal to lease and renovate the pool, not a contract
between the proposed tenant CDSS and the city.
2. Opportunity and Situation
The small swimming pool at the Cupertino Sports Center (21111 Stevens Creek Blvd), 18yd
long and 7 yard wide, is currently leased to DACA swim school. This lease will expire at the end
of March 2006 and DACA will move its swim school to its new facility. The pool landlord, city of
Cupertino, is looking for a new tenant partner to enhance the pool and to provide superior
swimming instructional services to its citizens and the members of the local communities.
3. Proposed Pool Renovation
Through the recent on-site visual inspections and meetings with architects and engineers,
we believe the pool systems including the enclosure dome are approaching their life expectancy
though they are still operating condition. Talking with the DACA director for their swim school
program on site, he expressed that they have no intention to leave the dome and heating
equipment to their competitor. Based on the observations and estimates, we suggest a two-
phase renovation of the pool facility totaling a $1.8M investment with $800K for the first phase.
The construction project shall be initiated and managed by the city with inputs taken from the
future proposed tenant.
Phase I. The renovation of this phase includes the complete rebuild of the pool systems with
an expanded pool, the sunroom enclosure, the office, locker rooms, restrooms and separated
utility lines or meters, since the existing building has too many areas that are not compliant with
today's building codes. On this phase, the city needs to raise the entire construction cost of
$800K to make it happen. The construction will take 4-6 months to complete. So the new lease
should start in Oct, 2006.
Phase II. One year prior to the expiration of the first phase lease, we should kick off the
second phase renovation, the expansion of the pool facility to one adjacent tennis court with an
estimated costs totaling $1 M on construction. On this phase, we propose to build a larger 6
lanes 25 yd pool out of the adjacent tennis court. CDSS considers to contribute half of the costs
which is $500K as taxable business cost for the second phase lease. The phase II construction
is expected to finish in six months, by the end of the first phase lease. The new lease shall be
renewed for a ten year term with a starting rate of $100K a year. Obviously, the city needs to
contribute one tennis court to be used as land for the pool expansion, match up or raise funds to
cover the rest of the cost $500K to make the second phase project happen.

4. Proposed New Tenant
CDSS (California Dolphin Swim School), a s-corporation registered in California since 2003,
is currently based in Union City. It provides various levels of swimming lessons to about 300
hundred young swimmers in both South Bay and East Bay areas. Its co-founder and the head
swim coach, Xiaohong Wang, was a world champion and Olympic silver medalist in early
1990s. She is now a Level-4 coach certified by ASCA (American Swim Coach Association),
bearing also the valid Red-Cross certificates in CPR, First Aid and Water Safety trainings. There
are currently seven part-time coaches and instructors working for the school.
The vision of the tenant is to become a premier aquatic club offering the best value swim
lessons and other diversified aquatic services in the bay area. The tenant is looking for and
planning to build together a long-term win-win tenancy and partnership with the landlord. The
tenant strikes hard to provide competitive market rents and make necessary financial
contributions to enhance the pool facility for the city of Cupertino, while maximizing its return of
investment for its investors and the business growth.
CDSS is an outstanding candidate for the new tenant. The reasons for that and the
strengths of the swim school are summarized below:
01t buys in and supports the win-win cooperation model: the city contributes land and
facility, while the private sector leases and runs the facility, contributing funds for facility
update and renovation.
01t will consider to contribute up to $500K as business improvement costs to renovate the
pool facility on the second phase before the first phase lease expires.
0With hundreds of in-school swimmer students, they have the necessary expertise and
experiences to grow and run a successful swim school, since they've been there and
done that.
01ts co-founder and head coach is a highly respected and experienced coach with top-
notch skills and world-class expertise in swimming.
0The well-known fame and reputation of its head coach will also help attracting swimmers
to the new facility, which is critical for the new tenant to pay rent, to survive and to thrive in
this extremely competitive environment. Her fame and reputation will also help promote
the attraction and bring great goodwill to the city.
01t has been profitable and maintaining a great credit since its inception. As a great and
responsible tenant, it always pays rents on time and takes good care of the pool facility.
01t will provide multiple aquatic programs to the Cupertino citizens and communities.
01t is professionally managed, capable to doing business and manage the pool facility
renovating construction right.
On the whole, CDSS is an outstanding, ready, willing and able candidate. Refer also to the
resumes of the tenant's chief officers in the appendix.

We plan to offer various quality swim lessons suitable for citizens from 6 months old to adult.
The lessons will be 30minute long. .
The small 900 pool renovated and finished in Phase I can attract swimmers with most
majority of them aging under 9. When the larger cooler 25yd pool is completed in Phase II, the
pools together will be able to attractive swimmers of all ages. By then we can consider to offer
aquatic fitness, exercises and therapies to adult and senior citizens.
7. Market and Competition
We discover that the pool facility is located in an extremely competitive environment with
many strong competitors located within 3 mile radius: DACA, Sutton, YMCA-Cupertino, Santa
Clara Inti Swim Center, CSC in Sunnyvale, West Coast Aquatics, and etc.
The following are the estimated number of swimmers for the top three competitors within
1-2 miles:
(1) DACA. 2300 swimmers in its learn-to-swim programs, 700 in its pre-competitive
program and 1000 in its competitive programs, totaling over 4000 swimmers. It is the
current pool tenant, moving to its new 1 OOOOsf indoor swim center. It's been in business
over 12 years.
(2) Sutton Swim School. It has over 1000 swimmers, in business for over 5 years, using its
new indoor pool facility just a couple of blocks away.
(3) YMCA-Cupertino. It has also over 1000 swimmers using its like new indoor pool facility
just around the corner, which is closest among these three competitive.
These top competitors all have their own new indoor swimming facilities. Therefore, it will be
extremely difficult to attract swimmers to an old or outdoor pool facility in Cupertino area.

As one you see in the market analysis table above, the total estimated market size for a
small pool in the Cupertino area is about 4300 swimmers under 9, who come partly from
Cupertino and partly from the above five other neighboring cities. Since there are already some
3500 swimmers of them signed up to the top competitors, the market is rather saturated and
challenging to support another profitable small pool facility.
