Support the club

Become part of our volunteer team

More than 20 volunteers help our swimmers train, compete and thrive. From poolside roles to officiating, every contribution makes a real difference.

Volunteering is a rewarding way to support your swimmer, get closer to the action and become part of our friendly swimming community. Training and guidance are provided for each role.

Two great ways to get involved

Team manager

Be the vital link between coaches and swimmers during competitions. Team managers look after a group of swimmers, help them reach their races on time and keep team spirit high.

  • ✓ Poolside view of the action
  • ✓ Free entry to many meets
  • ✓ Full guidance through the required courses and DBS check

Official

Help competitions run fairly and safely. Start with the straightforward online Timekeeper course, then progress to judging strokes and turns with mentoring available.

  • ✓ One of the best views of every race
  • ✓ Learn more about technical swimming
  • ✓ Help make licensed competitions possible
