Section 17211 } statement
The trustees have considered their duty under section 172 of the Companies Act 2005 to act in good faith to
promote the success of the Company. In particular, the trustees have clear regard to..

The impact of the Company's operations on people, the environment, and the communities in which it
operates.
The Company's strong reputation for high standards of business conduct and values
The Company is focusing on strategic relationships with a small nLtmber of customers which have been
developed over many years. These are built on mutual integrity and trust and are dynamic and highly
collaboralive in nature.
The Company has a pool of suppliers with whom it has built strategic relationships. These relationships and in
turn strengths have been fundamental in our resilience with the challenges of global supply pressures and Covid.
The Company employs a diverse workforce with everyone recruited directly and not through intermediaries, to
promote the most personal relationship to reduce low-negative unemployment, is testimony to the business as a
good place to work.
For those looking to make a long-term career we are a good choice, always looking to help them explore their
potential and offering opportunities to develop. We are dedicated to promotion from within and are proud that a
large proportion of people holding key positions joined when young, some with modest aspirations but strong
personal qualities, and have grown along wilh the business.
The managers are high profile and conspicuously active in achieving charitable objectives. The culture is open,
informal, and respectful. The setvice teams updates everyone as events demand in a direct and informative
manner, whether this is to communicate developments or to provide critical information as was the case through
COVID-19. This was key to maintaining morale and confidence through that period, something that was shown in
the exceptionally high levels of loyalty and support the company was shown throughout that experience.
Our environmental policy takes a prominent place in all our operation from procurement and staff level to
cleaning products and energy consumption. This includes using a renewable electricity supplier, Green IT, waste
recycling, using recycled and environmentally friendly products where possible and moving towards 'paperless'.

Plans for future periods
The past 12 months have seen the STA to continue to grow its market share across the sector throughout the
whole of the UK, whilst also achieving significant growth around the Globe. To have delivered 61 % of all Level 2
Swimming Teaching qualifications in England shows just how far the organisation has come in the last few years
and we expect this growth to continue in the coming months and years. With this achievement, we have been
able to truly make a difference to the sector through our continued use of charity funds to enable campaigns to
take place. From STAnd Up for Swimming, STArlight, Community STArters and this years Community Heart
STArters we are making a tangible difference to the communities we serve.
Our members are important to us and we act on their behalf which makes it all the more pleasing that
membership has continued to grow steaclily. This year has seen a particular focus on bolstering our membership
offering by increasing the benefits package, whether that be through additional insurance products, webinars or
podcasts.
We continue to utilise our amazing team of Brand Ambassadors for support, ideas and liaison within their
regions. For their work, we Ihank them very much.
Partnership working and collaboration has always been a vital part of what we do and we plan to continue
working with existing partners as well as forging new relationships with other likeminded organisations such as
CIMSPA, UK Active, Sport England, Sport and Recreation Alliance, Swim England, Black Swimming Association,
Schools, Enterprise Association, Zoggs, Goodboost, Konfidence and many others.
This last year has seen the launch of the Swimming Alliance of which we are one of the founding members. This
is an Alliance that we truly believe in if we want to increase participation in swimming and ultimately reduce
drowning and something that we will continue to give our full support.

responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material
misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial

misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 44(1 Ilc) of the
Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant
regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an Auditors, report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, 10 detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the
financial statements from our.. general commercial and sector experience., through verbal and written
communications with those charged with governance and other management,. through communications with
other group auditors, through communications with legal counsel, and via inspection of the company's regulatory
and legal correspondence.
We discussed with those charged with governance and other management the policies and procedures
regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We communicated identified laws and regulations to our team and remained alert to any indicators of non-
compliance throughout the audit, we also specifically considered where and how fraud may occur within the
company.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly. the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements, including.. the
company's constitution, relevant financial reporting standards., company law,. lax legislation and distributable
profits legislation and we assess the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our
procedures on the related financial statement items.
Secondly the company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-
compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance
through the imposition of fines and penalties. or through losses arising from liligalions. We identified the
following areas as those most likely to have such an affect.. operating licences., employment legislation; health
and safety legislation., trade and export legislation., legislation relevant to the commercialldomestic propety rental
environment; the regulatory requirements,. GDPR,. anti-bribery and corruption legislation.
International Auditing Standards (UK} limit the required procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws
and regulations lo the procedures, and no procedures over and above those already noted are required. These
limited procedures Idid notl identify any actual or suspected non-compliance which laws and regulations that
could have a material impact on the financial statements.
I n relation to fraud, we performed the following specific procedures in addition to those already noted.
Challenging assumptions made by management in its significant accounting estimates in particular..

Warranty provision, Dilapidation provision, Decommission cost and Depreciation.,
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any entries posted with unusual nominal ledger account
combinations, journal entries crediting cash or any revenue account, journal entries posted by senior
management.,
Performing analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be
indicative of fraud.,
Ensuring that testing undertaken on both the Statement of Comprehensive Income including Profit or Loss
Account and the Balance Sheet includes a number of items selected on a random basis.,
These procedures did not identify any actual or suspected fraudulent irregularity that could have a material
impact on the financial statements.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some
material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our
audit in accordance with International Auditing Standards UK). For example, the further removed non-
compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements,
the less likely the procedures that we are required to undertake would identify it. In addition, as with any audit,
there remains a high risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these might involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-
compliance with laws and regulations or fraud, and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws
and regulations or every incidence of fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or
. uklauditorsres
onsibilities. This description forms part of our
Auditors, report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the
Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts {Scotlandl
Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's
trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors, report and for no other purpose. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable
company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
