Lutra Aquatics

Unsurpassed expertise in the operation of self-supporting community aquatics facilities, and in bringing operational considerations to bear on aquatic facility design.

The effectiveness of our management approach is recognized by Aquatics International magazine, which named a Lutra facility (Cornerstone Aquatics Center) the best indoor family aquatics center in North America in 2005.

Lutra Aquatics is a professional aquatics consulting and management firm with more than 30 years' collective experience in the operation of self-supporting aquatics facilities. Our consulting comes from actually operating aquatics facilities, successfully, on a daily basis.

Simply put, our facilities avoid the annual operating losses generally associated with community aquatics facilities. They do so because we deliver the finest aquatics services available to the community in an extremely cost-effective manner.

We combine business acumen with a true passion for aquatics. Lutra is owned and operated by experienced business people who have been swimming all their lives.

Lutra offers a variety of consulting services relating to the design and operation of commercial aquatics facilities. For established facilities, our expertise in efficiently structuring operations to maximize revenues and reduce costs can produce substantial improvements in financial performance. For facilities in development, our consulting services focus on ensuring that decisions made during the planning and design phases won't preclude important revenue streams or burden the facility with unnecessary expenses—we'll help you position your facility to maximize financial performance.

Our management services are full-service and completely accountable. We will manage all aspects of your facility's operation, and we will bear responsibility for operating losses. Simply put, we will only be compensated if we succeed in creating a self-supporting facility, and we will absorb any losses. Our partners have never paid a single dollar for our services, nor have they had to bear any unexpected costs—Lutra's principals have a proven track record over 30 years of actually delivering self-supporting facility operations.

Test your knowledge of fact vs. fiction in the financial performance of aquatics facilities.
