Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
The 2022 season got off to a rocky start. Helen, our paid manager had
retired at the end ofthe previous season and so we recruited and handed
over to a new manager during the winter. Unfortunately. two weeks
before opening, he handed in his notice requiring the Trustees to finish
off preparations and then start the season. Unfortunately, il also
transpired that preparations where not as advanced as had been
reported, especially in the area of lifeguards. We had been suffering from
the same lack of trained staff as pools nationally post-pandernic and so
had offered funding for training io potential lifeguards and although
several had signed up and completed their training, they were only
suitable for the junior roles, and we had insufficient experienced staff for
the early part of the season leading to us having to close for several
sessions.
Luckily, we soon found Justin. a local swimming instructor who took on
running the site and the lifeguard team for the rest of the season.
The season then settled down and ran reasonably smoothly although the
ongoing leak seemed to be steadily worsening. We arranged for an
inspection via divers who identified a crack running along the deep end
just under the skimmers and a potential crack in the outlet at the bottom
of the deep end. We managed to keep on top of this for the season by
regularly lopping up the pool although this will need 8 proper fix over the
next year or ￿0. Several local pool companies have been approached
for quotes to resolve this.
We still have an on-going dispute with Teignbridge Council and South
West Water about the transfer of the water account which we are trying
hard to conclude. Our other issue was a national shortage of pool
chemicals which very nearly led to us closing several weeks earlier than
intended.
In November we had a well-attended AGM, and we were fortunate to
recruit two new truslees. Andrew Hamlyn and Jerry Griffiths.
Over the winter we again recruited for 8 manager, this time for someone
who could also cover pool plant and developing the pool offering, we
found two strong candidates and appointed and trained up Sean for the
2023 season.
Our significant short-tem challenge will be to fundraise and then repair
the leak which, aside from the environmental implications, is starting lo
have an noticeable impact on our finances due to the additional cost of
replacing, heating and adding chemicals to the lost water.

Section E
Financial review
The charity aims to hold enough reseNe to support the day-l0￿daY cash
flow of the pool over poor ticket sales. With the pool being seasonal and
open air, the weather has a huge impact on its main income so good
years reseNes are used to cover for multiple poor years.
The charity also aims to build reserves to support replacement of
equipment that has a life span such as the pool plant filters.
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves
Details of any funds materially
in deficit
Further financial review details (Optional information)
The key income of the swimming pool is through ticket sales, a
combination of season tickets and day passes. This is also supported by
activities such as private hire, lessons and special events.
However, the above doesn't cover Ihe full cost of keeping the pool open
and running, especially with the inevitable costs of equipmenl
repla￿Ment, grounds maintenance and general upkeep and
improvement.
Therefore, the pool is also reliant on grants and especially fvnd-raising
activities to support the general income.

lo state whether particular matters have come lo my attention.
Basis of Independent examinerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity

and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
11 also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from the Iruslees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
811 the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as lo
whether the acwunts present a true and fair view. and the report is limited lo those matters
set out in the statement below.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect. the

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charllies Act..
and
lo prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply
with the accounting requirements of the Charlties Act
