LiveWire, a Community Interest Company (CIC), has partnered with the Institute of Swimming to deliver talented and quality swimming instructors and coaches for its aquatic programme across Cheshire.
LiveWire CIC and Warrington Borough Council continue to invest in high quality facilities for aquatics in the town, including a refurbished pool at its Great Sankey Neighbourhood Hub and a brand new hydrotherapy pool due to open in 2020 at its latest site, the Bewsey and Dallam Community Hub.
James Birdsey, Livewire, says:
“It’s critical to the success of our investment that we have the right numbers of high quality teachers and coaches, not only to teach the basics through our Swim England Learn to Swim and School Swim programmes, but also to nurture and develop talent that sees local swimmers regularly competing on the national stage at its Warriors of Warrington Swimming Club..
“Teaming up with Institute of Swimming means absolute assurance that all our teachers receive the right qualifications to start their journey, as well as regular training and development to continually improve, whether that’s instructing a parent and baby session, a school swimming lesson or our national performance squads. We look forward with confidence to working with the Institute of Swimming, knowing we share a commitment to high quality outcomes for all those involved in swimming in Warrington.”
