Explanation of the Research The Business of Swimming 2004 reports on two years of research into swimming pool users. The main part of the research looks at 1,734 customers of swimming pools in England, Scotland and Wales. Unlike the Business of Swimming 2002, this year’s survey includes three private as well as a wide range of public pools. The methodology was achieved through a supervised survey. Swimming pool customers were asked on a random basis to complete the survey form. Pools were selected so as to give a distribution that covered all government regions. Each survey period amounted to three hours. For example, if the survey took place on a morning, afternoon or evening when there was low traffic in that pool, the survey still ended after that period. The survey included spectators as well as pool users so as to reflect pool users in total. The survey took place in the period between December 2003 and March 2004. HNI’s survey in 2002 of 1701 pool users is used throughout as a point of comparison although neither group are weighted samples nor does the 2002 Survey include Scotland and Wales. Some of the ensuing tables will show percentages adding to 99 or 101% due to rounding. The second part of this year’s research focuses on the pool operator. Some 85 pool managers responded in detail, helping to complete a picture of pools in Britain to date. This year’s research from pools themselves is supported by HNI’s own analysis of swimming pools in England, Scotland and Wales. The final area examines prices in pools over the last three years. The list is not exhaustive and is based on figures of publicly advertised admission prices provided to the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy over the last three years. These form part of their annual report, ‘Leisure Charges’. In some places, where CIPFA has not obtained prices charged, HNI has provided these from its own market intelligence. Some local authorities have provided figures but they have proved difficult to standardise.
