Testimonials from the 2025 programme
The Young Volunteer Programme has been incredibly valuable for me, not only in terms of developing my teaching and coaching skills, but also for my personal growth. Working with the club has boosted my confidence, improved my communication, and taught me so much about working with young swimmers. It’s been a rewarding and inspiring experience from start to finish.’
‘He’s really enjoyed his time poolside, it’s be a great experience and one that I’m sure will lead him to gain teaching/coaching qualifications when he’s older, so thank you to everyone involved in the organisation of it all.’
