Volunteers are active across all aspects of the club, from coaching to management and administration. Volunteering has many recognised benefits including
- It makes you happier. People who volunteer in sport often feel a sense of pride and say that their life has a sense of purpose.
- You’ll meet new people. Volunteering in sport is a great way to make new friends and connections. A shared love of sport often leads to new friendships. You won’t only connect with the other volunteers in the club, but attending meetings and events is a good way to get to know club members and the wider community too.
- It’s a great way to develop new skills. Volunteering can help you to improve current skills or develop new ones. Different roles will offer different opportunities. So volunteering doesn’t only benefit your club, but also you as a volunteer.
We believe that volunteering for the club is the best way you can support your swimmers. It ensures that club money is only spent on areas such as facility hire, equipment and coaching leadership and training. We rely on the members and their families to provide their skills to the club where they can be most effective in order to keep the costs of a quality provision affordable for all the swimmers.
