## **Pool Managers Report** 

## **1. Overview of customer number** 

Footfall is approximately 1,400 per week for early morning swimming sessions, public sessions, schools swimming, Aqua Aerobics and Sunday Family Swims, with an additional 764 children booked in for after school swimming lessons, parent and baby sessions, preschool and 1:1 lessons this term. We are now taking bookings for January 2024 and already have 771 children booked in and we are still advertising and filling places. We have added additional parent and baby/toddler sessions along with changing the times for Early Morning Swimming to be able to fit additional customers in. 

We have nine schools currently booked into swim who include, Paulton Juniors, St. Martins (Bath), St. Julians Wellow, Aspire Primary, High Littleton, Clutton, Shoscombe, Bishop Henderson and Farmborough. Due to budgetary 

**Tel:** 01761 413644 **eMail:** swim@paultonpool.org.uk **Web:** www.paultonpool.org.uk 




constraints, Farmborough will not swim from January 2024 but will return in September to swim for terms 1 and 2. Due to staffing problems, Aspire will not return to the Pool for school swimming lessons. Kilmersdon will return to swimming in January 2024 for a term. 

We have three public sessions during the evenings and an Aqua Aerobics session on a Wednesday evening and a Friday morning along with family sessions on a Sunday. 

## **2. Challenges** 

Disabled facilities and multi-function room are currently on hold.  We are still waiting for a confirmation letter from BANES regarding the lease. 

Energy prices are very high, our gas price was fixed for 4 years up until 2026.  The electricity was fixed last year but due to the lack of sun and wet weather during the summer months we were unable to use the solar panels to full capacity and are therefore seeing an overspend on the budget. 

## **3. Sponsorship/Advertising/Fundraising** 

We continue to advertise on social media and ask local businesses to advertise on tiles around the pool.  All fundraising for disabled facilities has stopped. We have currently put in an application to the Sperring Charity for a PXB board for £1,500 and we will be running a Colouring Competition at Christmas with the Trustees approval.

## **In need of Approval** 

As manager of the pool, I have been looking at the current staff structure. At present not all staff have the relevant qualifications needed to carry on in their Job role. It’s very important that we have multi-skilled staff to cover all aspects of the pool. Due to the size of the building and budget, we have limited staff on duty at one time.  With a multi-skilled team, we can limit costs but also ensure safety is covered across all the sessions each day. 

My proposal to help with the running of the pool but also safety is to have a hierarchy of skills from manager to u16 members of staff to ensure we have the relevant staff in place in all situations that can deal with all areas of our safety operating procedures.

About National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches (NRASTC) 

NRASTC is a supervision and rescue award for swimming teachers, coaches and (or) instructors working during programmed activities, such as swimming lessons. It is suitable for teachers working in a wide range of swimming pools where the water depth is higher than the teachers’ standing depth and meets the individual facility’s Risk Assessment. 

The National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) 

The NPLQ covers all elements of **Pool Rescue Techniques, Lifeguarding Theory** , **First Aid** and **CPR** . The course is physically demanding and will include swimming to set times, lifting casualties and diving to the deepest part of the **swimming pool** . Training and assessment for the NPLQ are in three sections, and candidates must successfully pass all of them to attain the **qualification** . 

Pay rise to be discussed. 

## 5. **Building/Plant/Maintenance** 

The repointing is due to start in January 2024. The chloring dosing system needs to be repaired or replaced.  A full plant room analysis is currently being completed. The pool will need repainting and the 

flooring on poolside replaced due to it becoming a trip hazard. We have obtained three quotes for discussion.
