LET’S DIVE IN

Imagine swimming in a year-round heated outdoor pool, soaking up the sun on a redwood sun deck, and warming up in a hot tub while looking up towards the Redwood trees. The Scotia Swim Club will add a modern recreation and community resource to the historic Scotia Lodge.  

In 2022, we completed our Swim Club crowdfunding campaign, that raised $32,754 to seed our construction. We spent the Spring months fulfilling the campaign perks for our supporters.  If anyone did not receive their perks please contact us to pick it up, hello@humboldt-social.com. Here is how our expenses broke down:

Indiegogo fees: ($4,282)
Cost of perks: ($11,490) *note, not including hotel room comps
Cost of consultant & videographer: ($8,667)
Cost of pool plans (engineer): ($6,150)
Savings towards the pool project, less above expenses: $2,165

We submitted our plans and permitting application to the County for review and and moved through several rounds of feedback and revisions with the Building Department.  Since we envision our Swim Club as a true community space, we are looking forward to hosting public swim lessons, classes, and events. 

We plan to incorporate the swim club into our renovation plans for 2024.  We will renovate the third floor, spa, and pool at once.  The plan timeline depends on interest rates, investor interest, and revenue.  If you are interested in helping with this project please send us an email at jon@humboldt-social.com.
