Volunteering, training and education

 

Volunteering

Volunteers make a huge contribution to aquatics in Sussex by running clubs and events. 

Volunteering is a rewarding experience, benefiting both the clubs and the individual.  It builds upon life skills, work skills, confidence and social aspects which can be seen to be benefits for the volunteer. 

The vibrant swimming community that we have in Sussex can be directly attributed to the professionalism of our volunteers. Without volunteers our athletes would not be able to achieve their goals.

We always need more volunteers to provide the infrastructure of coaches, teachers, poolside officials and club helpers.

To ensure that volunteering remains a valuable experience for everyone organisations and volunteers need to understand both the good practice and the legal implications of volunteer involvement. Click here for information about:

·         The law;

·         Expenses;

·         Contracts, and

·         Health and safety.

Teachers and coaches

Becoming a swimming teacher doesn't mean that you need to be an experienced swimmer. The ASA's training courses are recognised as being some of the best in any sport. Everyone starts with the basics and can progress to a level that suits them.
