As a result we have different groups working to improve the pool and its environment in terms of painting and decorating, building sheds, improving the fabric of the buildings, gardening, etc. Other volunteers man the desk and provide refreshments from the small kitchen. Trained Volunteers also run all poolside activities as trained Pool Rescuers, First Aiders, Swimming Teachers, Water Testers and Pool Operators.
Volunteers are able to feed back on any concerns/things that went well through an annual questionnaire.
Volunteers are also crucial to all fund-raising activities and communication with all club members and the rest of the village.
Volunteers are presently investigating various strategies for the improvement of the pool and its premises as well as the sustainability of the Pool and the Club.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The pool re-opened earlier than usual this season (30.04.22) and we had a flood of membership requests.
Over the Summer, Volunteers kept the premises weed free and the grass mown.
A weekly, Winter rota was established in October, to:
Clear the pool of weeds.
Rescue any wildlife that had fallen in.
Generally ensure that the pool remained secure.
The changing room’s roof has become part of a feasibility study by Sustainable Overton to install solar panels.
To keep the community up to date, information on what was happening at the pool is detailed both in the monthly News and Views and the Parish Magazine.
All updates, policies, etc. including the Covid policy, are on the Club’s Website.
The Club continues to benefit from individual donations, though fund raising was necessarily curtailed by the pandemic.
The school was able to use the pool for a week for Curriculum swimming thanks to volunteers daily testing the quality of the water and keeping the pool and surroundings in good order.
The Club provided training for :
10 First Aiders,
17 Pool Rescuers and Water Testers 1 Pool Plant Operator

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of A Policy on Reserves has been written and is the charity’s policy available on reserves for inspection by Club members. This will allow the Club to support at least one season of poor membership and fundraising as well as some capital expenditure The Trustees propose to keep £20K in reserve to cover both loss of income and any unexpected capital expenditure. Approximately £15.5 K would allow the Club to run for one season without any expenditure on Training and/or refurbishment of equipment. Donations and Grants have continued to build up the Club’s Reserves which will be used for the planned refurbishment.
