Structure & Aims
Dawlish Swimming & Life Saving Association (Dawlish Swimming Club) is a small swimming club focused on providing local children the opportunity to learn to swim and then progress through to competitive swimming. We aim to provide a club that is suitable for all ambitions and abilities, from fitness swimming through to County, Regional and National standards. Our framework follows the Swim England Athlete Development Support Pathway (ADSP).
Management
The Club is run by a small committee made up of parents and long-standing members. All decisions are put through the committee and then voted on. We hold a committee meeting once a month and hold an Annual General Meeting once a year. Our trustees are nominated by the committee and then voted in.
Financial Review
The 2023 accounts show an annual surplus of £18,218 for 2023. This continues on the Club’s financial recovery since the Covid 19 pandemic.
Income has increased from £66,402 in 2022 to £74,122 in 2023. This is largely due to our highly successful Firecracker gala in November 2023, which raised over £10,000 for the Club, as well as increased membership numbers, particularly in Learn To Swim. Sponsorship income also increased, thanks to generous contributions including from the Nanosun Foundation.
Expenditure reduced from £63,089 in 2022 to £55,368 in 2023. This is mainly results from a change in coaching structure, with the full time coach leaving the Club at the end of 2022 and being replaced by a more junior coach alongside volunteer coaches and teachers. As a result of this, the Club invested over £3200 in training for our coaches and swimming teachers.
