Considering new fashion for wellness treatments, it can be assumed that the question of how to open a pool, a detailed business plan, requirements and profitability will be of great interest to enterprising businessmen.

In large, medium and even small cities, in hot weather, you really want to plunge into cool water, and in winter period emphasis is placed on wellness and sports interest townspeople. As a result, a swimming pool business can pay off in a fairly short time, which justifies any investment.

How to make money on services?

Swimming has such features that it can act as a health-improving procedure or be an interesting entertainment for most categories of the population. It brings health benefits, pleasure and joy, and for children acts as a way physical development.

If you like the idea of building a pool in the city, you need to understand where to start. For this, there are prepared business plans with calculations, which we will provide in more detail. You also need to decide what exactly you will offer. When building a swimming pool, you should consider what should be in it and what services are provided to customers. For example:

swimming as recreation and entertainment;
children's education;
swimming pool for babies;
additional services such as mini-bar, entertainment equipment, aqua aerobics, solarium, Gym, etc.;
competitions;
parties and corporate events.

To calculate how much investment is needed, what the profitability of the business will turn out to be, and also to anticipate the size of the desired building, you will need to think through all this in advance. It would be useful to decide such a moment - this is an open area where visitors can sunbathe in the summer, or a closed building that works all year round in the same mode.

Here you can download for free as a sample.

What do you need to get started?

If you decide to open a swimming pool as a private business, then after considering your offers and the services provided, you need to deal with more mundane issues:

Choose a method of registering an enterprise - an individual entrepreneur or an LLC, depending on the number of project participants and the proposed investment.
Prepare all necessary documents and permits.
Draw up a full-fledged business plan for the payback of the project.
Rent or purchase auxiliary inventory and equipment.
Think about the location and size of the occupied territory.

Documentation

Not a single business plan is implemented without the preparation of certain permits, registrations, etc. And if opening your own LLC or IP is quite simple and fast, then obtaining the required documents from the Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture can be lengthy and complex process. It is also necessary to resolve issues with Rospozhnadzor, Rospotrebnadzor and the sanitary and epidemiological service.

In order to conduct all financial calculations initially correctly, you will need to hire a qualified accountant. It will help you apply for tax credits for wellness centers and calculate payroll and tax expenses in your monthly expenses. This will make it possible to better think over the business plan and provide for the rate of return on the project.

Necessary equipment

Depending on the services provided, a variety of inventory will be required. Obviously, for opening a minibar and a massage room, these will be completely different things. But since we are considering how to open a pool, we will focus on the most important and universal nuances in this regard:

a swimming pool at least 25 meters long;
filtration and heating systems;
track separators;
water illumination;
bedside tables for start;
cabins for clothes;
benches;
showers;
separate toilet equipment, etc.

It is important to remember the quality of the services provided, the convenience and comfort of visitors, their safety and the accessibility of the building itself. Be sure to consider where the pool is best placed. After all, if it is difficult to get to it, there is no bus stop or parking for cars nearby, then attendance will be very low, which will affect the payback and profitability of the project as a whole.

Staff

Even before opening, you should take care of the availability of qualified personnel:

Manager, manager or director.
Administrator or even two, if the complex should be large.
Accountant.
Coaches.
Nurse.
Pediatrician if you have swimming pool for babies and small children.
Technical staff for maintenance of special equipment.
Wardrobe attendants.
Cleaning woman.

If, when opening the pool, you decide to supplement it with various health or entertainment services, then each of them will also require a certain specialist. To facilitate your activities, you can open a pool together with other entrepreneurs who will be in charge of their site - mini-bar, massage parlor, gym, etc.

Since large amounts are spent on salaries and related taxes, you can first try to perform individual functions yourself. But this should not go against the interests of clients. So, if you have a certain education, you can replace the administrator or accountant with the time, but the lack professional trainer or a technical worker can ruin your business from the start.

Accurate calculations

For a successful business plan and a competent preliminary forecast of the payback of the project, it is necessary to calculate the costs and income well. And here you need to provide all the details. We will provide only average figures in the table. And more specific figures will depend on what size of the pool you choose, how much the equipment costs, what monthly fee you set for visiting, and much more.

With the cost of visiting for one visitor per hour of 250-300 rubles and a good influx of customers, we can talk about the payback of the project in 3-4 years. But a lot depends on the availability of additional services, whether you guessed the needs of the population, how much the construction cost, related documents, etc.

For example, to feel the difference, we suggest looking at the cost of different projects:

For a large complex, spending will be about 160 million rubles.
And for the smallest pool, suitable for a medium-sized settlement, investments will be limited to 5-6 million rubles.

The risk of starting a business not on time (for example, due to a violation of the construction schedule, supply and installation of equipment, repairs, etc.).
Incorrect or inaccurate financial planning. For example, all cost items were not taken into account, prices for equipment and building materials increased, etc. As a result, there is not enough money to implement the entire business project on time.
Increasing utility bills.
The occurrence of accidents in the water.
Sharp seasonal fluctuations in demand.
Low qualification of personnel.
Non-compliance of the premises with sanitary standards.

The payback of this business project will be from 24 to 30 months. For an entrepreneur, this is a kind of medium-term investment in a highly profitable business, since the profitability is 50-70%.

Everyone loves to swim in the sea, but not every family will allow themselves such pleasure all year round. Of course, living near the sea has many pleasant advantages, but not everywhere there is a sea or other body of water. Yes, and you have to be a walrus to swim in the sea, river or lake in winter. Such extreme bathing will also affect health. But for lovers water procedures There is a way out of such a bad situation - a pool. Not only is it available at least every day of the year (if you build it not on the street, but inside), it will also help you maintain a healthy and athletic lifestyle! Thanks to the demand made for creating a kids swimming pool business plan, many entrepreneurs have their eyes set on the future of swimming pools - why not get into them.

There are not so many pools under the state wing, and they are ancient. In addition, their another disadvantage is the path to them. You need to get together, sculpt your will into a fist and go to the pool at the other end of the city. There is not always the strength and desire for this. Such a voyage will not have the highest percentage of quality, since you need to go back home. And after swimming, it is best to lie down and lie down - this is necessary for the spine. In addition, not everyone wants, because of their own complexes, to be in public swimming pool It seems like everyone is looking at you. And if you don’t know how to swim and are just starting to learn, then it becomes terribly ashamed. Yes, and a rather big subscription fee must be paid every month.

That is precisely why many people prefer to invest money in their pool once and never remember any difficulties again. But not everyone can afford it. What about those who live in apartments, for example? But if in a city or district there will be small pool- brand new and modern, and even with a small payment, then why not use this useful luxury.

For these reasons, any pool pays off. Of course, this can happen in a year, or maybe in 2-3, which is more likely. Swimming pools bring good profits to their owners. It will be enough 3 - 5 tracks 25 - 30 meters long. Both amateurs and athletes will be able to appreciate such a track. And the place will show high attendance, which will increase profits in the future.

Documentation

It is very important before the construction of the pool to collect all the documents for implementation ready business pool plan. First of all, this is a building permit from the local committee of architecture and construction. Often, paperwork takes even more time than construction work. But it is better to arrange everything first and be sure that there is permission.

Also, one should not forget to write in the example of a business plan for opening a pool such articles as concluding contracts with suppliers of water resources, heat and electricity. The plan will need to calculate and fix how much each meter will show per month.

It is quite possible to count on benefits and subsidies from government agencies. If the pool will have a direction in the development of physical education. Such advantages are very useful.

room

1000 square meters is the minimum required for an infant or adult pool. It's not worth regretting it. The room should have not only the king of everything himself - a pool, but also showers, a dressing room, and you can’t forget about a separate locker room for the floor.

The pool must meet the following criteria:

there must be pipes with a supply of cold and hot water; pipes must comply with standards;
the entire room must be treated so that the floor, ceiling and walls are water-repellent - so you do not have to do repairs too often, since moisture will not be absorbed into the walls, and they will not collapse quickly;
the room should be cozy and comfortable for visitors;
before arranging the installation of the pool itself, all additional (including decorative and finishing) work must be completed;
a sewer pipe is very necessary - you cannot forget about it.

Equipment

Focusing on examples of a pool business plan, the cleanliness and comfort of the pool depends on the correctly selected and installed equipment. This is not just a pit with water, but a whole complex installation. The equipment should be on the issues of water circulation, its filtration and purification. These are the minimum requirements. Also, we must not forget about disinfection in the pool and in the room itself.

Such equipment for the pool will not affect the quality of the water, but will improve the quality of service and indoor comfort:

shower boxes;
equipment for determining water parameters;
bollards for jumping into the water;
separators on the water to separate the tracks;
air drying equipment;
ladders and handrails for the safety of customers, as the floor can be slippery from water;
lockers, shelves, benches and deck chairs for customers.

Staff

The premises should not be empty without supervisors. Staff is a very important item in a sample business plan with calculations. First, we need people who will monitor the quality of the water and clean the pool. Secondly, there must be a doctor or at least a nurse for any unforeseen dangerous case, since people often pass near the water unpleasant situations. We also need different trainers: for beginners, for specialists, in aerobics and water gymnastics. We also need cloakroom attendants, cleaners, an accountant.

Additional services

The pool is not only for swimming. Here you can train in water yoga and aerobics. It will be necessary to negotiate with specialist trainers. You can also arrange a solarium, massage room, sauna. You can also arrange a cafe on the premises. Such additional services will require additional costs. We need people who will work there, a location, tools and equipment, additional financial resources. You will also need to do paperwork again, as some of these species require official permission. But it's worth it, because not only people will be pleased to be in such a recreation complex, they will invite their friends, and the entrepreneur's profit will grow steadily. The extra investment will quickly pay off.

Conclusion

By implementing the business plan of the pool, the revenue from it per month can be more than 200-300 thousand rubles. A subscription for a month costs an average of 6-10 thousand rubles.

Opening a pool is a laborious process that requires large financial investments and the efforts of the founder. Naturally, the game is worth the candle, but not everyone will be able to cope with a large amount of work.

Types of pools and services

Before you open the pool, you need to find out what types are:

sports;
complex;
private;
included in fitness centers, baths and hotels.

The former relate to those types that are built and provided by the federal authorities at the expense of the budget. The complexes most often belong to educational institutions or enterprises.

To attract more potential customers, you can offer the following services on the territory of the pool:

manicure;
pedicure;
solarium;
sauna;
sports simulators;
massage;
water aerobics;
swimming lessons with an instructor;
cafe.

At first, there is not always enough finance to open additional establishments inside the water center itself, so it’s worth waiting until the business starts to make a net profit.

A private pool is no longer a rarity today - there are such facilities even in small towns. Organization of your own pool requires considerable costs for its design, construction, maintenance and repair. However, investments in the project, according to experts, are quite reasonable - it pays off private pool in just 3-4 years. And a small, budget pool measuring 10 by 4 meters will pay off even faster - the initial investment should return in 2 years ...

Despite the fact that private pools are becoming more and more every year, they total in the cities of the Russian Federation is not yet able to satisfy the growing demand in full. So, marketers have established average value the needs of the population in the pools. In another way, it sounds like an indicator of the area of the water surface of the basin per capita. For large and medium-sized cities, this value is 14-19 m2 per 1000 inhabitants. For small towns, this figure is slightly higher: 30-40 m2 per 1000 inhabitants. Thus, a city with a million inhabitants needs at least 30 large pools.

How much money do you need to invest to open a swimming pool

If you decide to open a private pool, then you should know that investments in the project can amount to several million dollars. Costs largely depend on the size of the future pool and the availability of space for its installation. It is logical that the construction of a new facility will cost much more. In addition, serious investments require the arrangement of the pool, construction work and the purchase of equipment.

Choosing a room for organizing a pool

For the pool, a room with an area of 1500 square meters is required. meters. There are several ways to pick up such objects:

Buy out an old building, for example, inactive or in disrepair sport complexes. As a rule, such buildings are owned by the local administration and are purchased at auction.
Rent a room in a business center. In this case, the start-up costs will be much lower, but you need to be prepared for high fixed costs. Renting premises with an area of more than 1500 m2 cannot cost less than 500 thousand rubles per month.
Build a turnkey swimming pool - a ready-made health complex. This is the most expensive and longest variant of organizing a business. It is necessary to select a plot of land and obtain a building permit. The construction of a turnkey pool can take up to 1.5 years.

The pool project is ordered from specialized organizations and for a pool with a volume of 500 m3 it will cost from 70 thousand rubles. The construction of a reinforced concrete bowl will cost 5,500 rubles per 1 m3. Plastering and waterproofing work will take another 600 rubles per m3. Finishing work costs from 650 rubles per 1 m3, equipment installation - 15% of the cost of equipment, commissioning - about 8,000 rubles.

How much can you earn on pool services

According to experts, the swimming pool "by default" cannot be unprofitable. The demand for such services is so high that about 50% of the time of the pool is taken by companies that purchase subscriptions for their employees. In addition, by installing in a swimming pool optional equipment you can earn on such services as: solarium, massage, gym. According to experts, the income of a swimming pool can be increased by 10-15% by installing two baths: an adult (main) and a children's one.

Most pools are open 15-16 hours a day, approximately 270 days a year. The rest of the time is spent on holidays and sanitation days. Attendance in autumn, winter and spring is about the same. The decline is observed in the summer (holiday season), when the pool is visited by 2-4 times fewer customers. But the period of "downtime" can be used with benefit, for example, send the pool for the next repair and modernization.

The profit of swimming pools, according to some calculations, ranges from 5 to 40% of the amount of annual costs. At the same time, most of them provide preferential and even free subscriptions to schoolchildren and students.

The costs of the pool are made up to a greater extent of the cost of paying wages (40%) and the cost of maintaining the facility: electricity and heat supply. The payback period for a swimming pool, according to various estimates, is from 3 to 5 years.
