Pattishall Swimming Club
Registered Charity Number 1182552
Annual Re ort 2021 p
General Statement
Due to the ongoing Covid 19 Pandemic, the operation of the pool continued to be impacted during the 2021 season with guidance from Swim England, the Health & Safety Executive and the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG), requiring the operational changes implemented in 2020 to be continued.
However, we were able to open at the usual time in May and as the season progressed, we were also able to relax some of the measures including the one-way system, the excessive cleaning regime, the capacity limitation increased from 8 to 12 and the requirement for 2m social distancing & face coverings for parents. The higher recommended chorine level was maintained throughout the season.
For the coming year we will consider keeping in place some of the more practical measures introduced during the pandemic such as the capacity limitation to 12, the two 30 minute sessions instead of one 1 hour during the holidays, & the booking system.
Personnel
Geoff Brand, Max Brand, Liam Deighton, Dominic Squires & Andy Mills were responsible for the maintenance of the pool water and thanks is extended to them all.
We were able to run an STA supervisor training course in May for 16 supervisors of which 8 were new to the role. Our thanks are extended to all of our volunteers for their time and support and we hope that all of our current supervisors will participate in the 2022 season.
We would also like to thank Emie Kitson, of Aqualight, for carrying out our training free of charge. Emie has also agreed to carry out a course for us this year too and we will be looking to train an additional 6-8 candidates in June, so please let Geoff know if you, or you know someone who would be interested.
Committee
Geoff Brand (Chair), Sharon Onley (Treasurer), Maxine Brand (Secretary) & Dominic Squires, are happy to continue as Trustees and to sit on the PSC Committee for the forthcoming year.
Sharon would like to step down as Trustee & Treasurer at the end of the 2022 season, and therefore we would like to invite applicants to make themselves known now in order to facilitate a smooth hand over at the end of the season.
Funding
Operating costs increased in the 2021 season mostly due to the increased chemical usage for both pool treatment and increased testing so we would expect to see that return to a more normal level this season. Funding, however, is always a priority and we need to attract a membership of around 80 in order to cover the operating costs via membership donations in a typical year.
Training costs increased last year as the qualification we use has a validity of two years, and all supervisors expired in 2021, therefore a course of 16 candidates was run.
For more detail, please see the Treasurers report under the ‘Finance & Accounts’ section.
Attendance 2021
Sessions were operated after school each day and on three weekdays and one weekend day throughout the summer holiday. There were some additional sessions offered too. Two 30 minute sessions were available on each day in the holidays, giving availability of 16 swimmers on each open day.
The pool was also hired by Jump In and Swim swimming school for intensive courses for 3 weeks of the pool season. This did create some extra administration and operational work but generated income for the swimming club. Please see finance report.
Closure due to weather - 4 sessions
Closure due to no supervision - 4 sessions
Closure due training - 0 sessions
Closure due pool issues - 0 sessions
Membership
The chair took part in the new reception parents online meeting in June for pupils starting in September 2021. The free swim voucher was not given to new Reception Class children.

Finance & Accounts
Year November 2020 to November 2021
The Swimming Club accounts have been drawn up to run from November to November on a receipts and payments basis. The balance at the start of the season was £1206.99 .
The club is entirely funded by income generated through Membership Fees, Sponsorship and Grants and during 2021 the club income totalled £16035.31.
In 2021 membership income reached £1185.83 , a £455.83 increase on income generated in 2020 (which had been impacted due to the coronavirus pandemic) and a slight increase on the membership income of 2019. This year, the club was able to secure additional income from a private hirer who used the pool for adult swimming lessons. This was very successful for both parties and brought in a welcome income of £1060. We received £1000 from Tesco towards a pool liner as mentioned in the last report (we had applied to be part of a blue token scheme in 2020 but as it did not run due to the coronavirus pandemic- each applicant received instead a £1000 grant) and £12789.48 as
an excellent result of Geoff Brand’s grant application to the London Marathon Charitable trust. This was specifically initially to be used for new fencing, refurbishment of the pool plant shed and a new solar cover.
Income is used to pay for the running/operating costs of the pool as well as repairs and improvements to the plant equipment and pool environment.
Operating and improvement costs totalled approximately £4014.57 , including £348.38 for insurance. Training costs this year for supervisors cost £386.17 . Utilities costs from the school are still yet to be received for the period . The costs of chemicals and other maintenance costs were £951.22 .
Refurbishment of the pool plant shed was carried out, and the solar cover was purchased - both from the London Marathon grant. This totalled £2328.80 .
The overall cash position at the end of the season was £13227.73 .

Looking ahead to 2022:
The cash balance to date is £6391.73 - after the payment for the new fencing. (This was carried out early in 2022 and totalled £6836. ) A further spend is planned to use the Tesco’s grant and as agreed (as a variation to the initial grant application due to underspending on fencing) by the London Marathon Charitable trust. This is planned to be £ 4000 - £4500 on the pool liner and associated works. This means the balance will be approximately £1891 - less utilities costs from 2021 - to start the new season.
