The volunteers, coaches and teachers that run clubs and competitions are the lifeblood of our sport. Without a dedicated and skilled workforce swimming would not be enjoying the success on the world stage that it is today.
If you are thinking about becoming a volunteer, are already giving your time to a club or are managing volunteers, then you will find lots of helpful information in these workforce pages.
The Swim England’s Volunteers Hub provides information to help clubs and volunteers.
Coaching and Teaching Policy for Clubs
It is vital for the future of our sport that participants are confident in the quality of activities offered by Swim England affiliated organisations. It is also very important that clubs, administrators, coaches and teachers have the peace of mind that they are covered by appropriate insurance.
Swim England have put together the Coaching and Teaching Policy for Clubs which covers Swim England’s expectations of clubs in relation to the level of coaching and teaching in all disciplines in the club environment. This is also the standard that is required by Swim England’s insurers in relation to a club’s liability insurance.
Swim England have a created a library of approved documents to support clubs, volunteers and athletes with Health & Safety advice, risk assessment and best practice. Access the library
