Volunteers
29 October 2019Volunteers are the lifeblood of swimming. Without them there would be no sport, no national champions, no Olympic swimmers. But making a difference is not the only reason for giving up your time.
If you are interested in volunteering in London then please email us at enquiries@londonswimming.org. There are always ongoing opportunities to volunteer within clubs as well as with the region itself.
Opportunities include:
- working in clubs
- getting involved at London events both with Swim England London or one of our partners
- becoming an official
- becoming a teacher or coach
- getting involved with finance, marketing, website design
- becoming involved in one of our committees such as the youth council
More information and details about club and event volunteering roles can be found on the Swim England Volunteering Hub.
We are also looking for non-technical officials to volunteer at our regional events.
Volunteering training in London
There are a number of volunteer roles that are all very important to the running of clubs and galas.
Team Manager Training
The ability to manage teams is a key part of many volunteer roles. Ensuring athletes arrive at and return from sporting activities unharmed is a big responsibility, and clubs like to make sure volunteers have all the necessary skills and knowledge to do it.
