Young Volunteers Programme

The programme involves young volunteers from Swim 21 clubs in the South West region assisting with activities within a club environment. The aim is to gain an insight into the role, structure and management of a voluntary sports club.

The young volunteers will all complete additional development opportunities such as club timekeepers and Judge Level 1 courses (or discipline equivalent), team manager training, Young Aquatic Organiser Award, and poolside helpers courses.

More information on: http://www.swimwest.org/region/index.php

Speak with Mark Rawle or Karen Gibbs for more information
