PAULTON POOL
AGM Report December 2025
Financial Overview
Capital Account £97,361.74 Current Account £68,735.68 Total £166,097.42
Income receivable this term £55,000 (swimming lessons January – April 2026)
HSSE
We are still experiencing cut toes from the tiles in the swimming pool.
We have not heard from Environmental Health or from Mr. Perry after his visit from the Police.
A few children have slipped on the benches in the changing rooms and caught their legs. A sign has been put up asking parents not to let their children stand on the benches.
OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES
We have 700 children booked in for after school swimming lessons, parent and baby sessions, preschool and 1:1 lessons that commenced in January 2026.
We have 9 schools that attend school swimming lessons, several schools have reduced the number of weeks they swim due to budget restraints. Turtle Tots also hire the pool on a Sunday afternoon from 2.15pm – 5.00pm.
Farmborough School (only swim in terms 1 and 2)
St. Martins Garden, Bath (All Year)
St. Julians School (10 sessions per term)
Paulton Junior School (All Year)
Newbury Manor School (3 sessions, All Year)
High Littleton School (only swim in terms 1 and 2)
Clutton School (All Year)
Shoscombe School (All Year)
Kilmersdon School (only swim in terms 3 and 4)
We have a steady flow of customers attending Public Sessions and the Adult Dip sessions during lunchtime and increased numbers attending Aqua Aerobics sessions.
We are currently looking at monthly payments through GoCardless to make lessons more affordable.
SWIMSOFT SOFTWARE/WEBSITE/BEYONK
The Beyonk booking system is running well alongside the website and the Swimsoft system for swimming lessons.
DISABLED FACILITIES/FUNDING
I have applied for the following grants so that we have disabled facilities at the pool. Each one has been unsuccessful:
Community Trust Grant under the Community Ownership Fund £20,000
Sperring Trust £2,000
Quartet £1,000
Swim England £40,000
Swimming for Disabled People £500.00
Community Matters £5,000
Community Grant from the Giving Machine £250.00
I have also emailed The Biggs Trust and The Roper Family Charitable Trust. Mr and Mrs. Wyatt from the Biggs Trust visited the pool as they wanted to understand what we would like to achieve. The trust will give us £5,000; they also gave us advise on where to put the disabled changing room. We are currently putting a plan together so that Ken Biggs Contractors can quote for the work.
I am still waiting to hear back from the Roper Charitable Trust as they said it could take around a month.
SPONSORSHIP/ADVERTISING
We continue to advertise on social media through Facebook and Instagram. We are currently advertising tile sponsorship.
GAS/ELECTRICITY
Gas costs are fixed for another year; the electricity was re-negotiated to start in April 2025.
PERSONNEL
We currently have 30 members of staff. One member of staff is currently on maternity leave and will return in February and four members of staff are casual workers that cover holiday and sick leave. We have another member of staff that will start maternity leave in June 2026.
BUILDING/PLANT/MAINTENANCE
We are currently looking for a Handy Man.
ACCOUNTS
Up to date accounts have been submitted and end of year accounts for 2025/2026 will need approving so that they can be submitted to the Charity Commission.
PAY REVIEW
Due to the increase in The National Living Wage and Minimum wage in April 2026 we propose a 4% pay increase for all staff and this will be funded by increasing the price of swimming lessons by 50p per lesson from April 2026.
