The Moose Jaw Kinsmen Flying Fins have been in the city for 50 years, but they are now facing a projected $26,000 deficit.

They also pay the highest pool rates for swim clubs in the province.   

“This is causing our club to struggle financially,” said Rick Johns, club president. “If something isn’t done, we’ll be unable to continue to run the club.”

According to Johns’ and head coach Gord Shields’ presentation to council on Monday night, in the 2010-11 season, the club paid $33,000.
