​​Request

A previous request on the same topic asked for information relating to charges for swimming clubs to hire swimming pools. The information was provided in a table listing out the respective charges for Les Quennevais, Langford and Haute Vallee swimming pools, as taken from the ESC rate card for swimming pool hire. The applicant then clarified the request to ask for information on the actual amount paid by swimming clubs, rather than just the standard charge.

This is applied to clubs using ESC swimming pools where notification has been provided that activities are provided for children aged 18 years and under.
  • the club rate for use of Langford and Haute Vallee swimming pools by Jersey Swimming Club and Walkers Tigers Swimming Club has historically been set at a fixed rate which recognises the development and high performance work undertaken by these clubs. In recognition of the amount of pool time required for these programmes and the corresponding costs, the hourly rate is set at a lower level.
