Help required

From time to time we require extra help at the front desk. If you are able to fulfill this role leave your details with Christine or Mary.


Volunteering – teaching and coaching

Have you any swimming teaching or coaching qualifications? Could you like to use your skills to help our club?

Would you like to learn more about teaching and coaching?

If so please talk to Gareth.

We welcome all enquiries

Assistant coach

Due to other commitments it is with regret that Pam has resigned from the position as assistant coach. Pam started as a volunteer helper, decided she liked it and trained to be a swimming teacher. She has been coaching since March 2008 and has helped Gareth to improve the skills of our Elite and Junior Elite swimmers. She also takes Group 4, an important group, where swimmers begin to experience coaching alongside teaching. We thank her for the time she has devoted to the club and wish her well for the future. Who knows, she may come back as a volunteer in a little while!

 

Assistant Coach – vacancy

We are now actively seeking an assistant coach who can work with Gareth to continue the excellent coaching opportunities offered to our swimmers. Hours will be by negotiation but you must be able to work at 4.30p.m on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, sometimes with Gareth and sometimes on your own. Minimum Qualification must be Level 2 Teaching or coaching. For more information, talk to Gareth, Elaine or Mary.
