2022 Community Survey Results
The 2022 Teton Valley Aquatics (TVA) Community Survey received 644 responses, representing at least 1,178 people. The survey was disseminated through TVA’s social media channels, the Community Page of Teton Valley on Facebook, TVA’s newsletter, Teton Valley News, and flyers posted on bulletin boards around Teton Valley. 572 (89.4%) respondents were full-time Teton Valley residents, 55 (8.6%) were part-time Teton Valley residents, 13 (2%) were Teton Valley visitors.
Overall results show that a majority of respondents want to use the aquatic recreation facility for adult recreational swimming and adult leisure activities. Families with children under 12 years old are also interested in using the facility for children’s recreational swimming and children’s swim lessons. Respondents would expect to use a lap pool, hot tubs, a sauna, and showers in the future facility, along with some sort of fun water activities. Families with children under 12 years old would also expect to use a children's activity pool. Even when broken down by age group, there is limited expected usage of a steam room, diving boards/platforms, or a therapy/rehab pool. Though a therapy/rehab pool may not be expected to be used, it may be an important element to include in the future facility when needs arise such as unexpected injury, illness, or disability.
The only non-aquatic amenity that was expected to be used by more than 50% of respondents was a multi-use court. When broken down by age group, families with young children also anticipate using a daycare facility, families with teenagers expect to use a teen center, and families with seniors plan to use a weight room.
There were 36 respondents (5.6%) who would not anticipate using an aquatic recreation facility at all. These respondents were mainly adult-only families, only 2 of them had children under 5 years old, 2 had children 6-12 years old, and only 5 had seniors in their household.
Overall, the survey indicated a majority of the Teton Valley community supports an aquatic recreation facility with a lap pool, children's activity pool, hot tubs, sauna, and multi-use courts. They would also use some fun water activities like slides or a lazy river, a weight room, daycare, and teen center.
