Seen as most of the kids live next to a river I feel kids really should lean how to swim and the pool should be open all year round. If people can't pay the full amount then offer a contribution so they can pay what they have and don't sit there pressuring them when they can't pay any more than they can offer as this makes them uncomfy and embarrassed and just not bothering in future. Something is better than nothing after all. Also do a fete to help raise money for the pool costs short fall.

It's essential that the children keep their swimming lessons

Being able to swim is essential for all children especially living in Burnham. Surely the pool could make money if it was more available to be used out of school hours throughout the year to the local community to help with running costs. All Parents should support and encourage swimming as a lesson all year round and £2.00 is a small amount to pay weekly to be able for our children to swim.

Not only as a father of two BCPS puples but as part of the RNLI i would encourage Mrs Stock to keep the pool open and encourage all parents to allow their children to swim all year round, its an essential skill that may save their lives some day.

I'd like to know if we could buy the chemicals required for the pool cheaper. Can we see a proper breakdown of all costs? Swimming is life skill ALL our kids need!

Happy to mention this in the Burnham and Dengie Hundred Review if needing extra support.

There are many ways in which extra revenue could be generated to help towards the maintenance and running of the pool. I'm sure the facilities could be made available to other parties or fundraising schemes developed.
