Pool Management
Shoalstone Seawater Pool is a community run asset. The pool is managed by a community interest company, Shoalstone Pool CIC with a board of directors made up of local volunteers who manage the pool affairs in their own spare time.
The current board of directors are:-
- Jessica Stock (Chair, Marketing/Finance)
- Rosemary Clarke (HSE)
- Anthony Heard (Cashier)
- Jo Olsson (Governance/Fundraising)
- Dave Barter (Operations/Infrastructure)
- Helen Barter (Beach Huts/Volunteers)
- Susan Laurie (Town Council Representative)
The directors meet monthly in Brixham and can be contacted via info@shoalstonepool.com
Pool Strategy
In November last year we published a draft strategy entitled "From Surviving to Thriving" for the pool. Following publication we’ve taken the strategy to consultation and are in the process of implementing it.
As a result of the feedback we can announce that we are fully committed to the dissolution of the Community Interest Company and the formation of a new organisation by which we can gain charitable status. This is critical to our plans for fundraising. Linked to this is our will to continue providing access to the pool for free with a donation advised.
The directors are working on a short, medium and long term implementation of the strategy and we hope to release further details in our June 2020 newsletter.
Policy Documents

Fundraising and Revenue
The pool relies on donations, fundraising and revenue from the attached car park in order to remain open. Shoalstone CIC are supported by the Friends of Shoalstone Pool who work selflessly to raise funds on our behalf.
The Friends were formed in 2004. The money raised by the Friends pays for annual cleaning, painting and recommissioning, and also helps to build a contingency fund in the event of a major storm and any subsequent repairs needed.
Please consider supporting the Friends by becoming a member. It’s a small donation and every little helps.
