KA Volunteers

Like many voluntary organisations, our swimming club has a parent run committee and a set of coaches/teachers who volunteer and give up their time freely to assist with the running of our club. We heavily upon our dedicated volunteer workforce, without these people the club would not survive.

There are many different volunteering opportunities and roles to suit your skills and experience. Whether you can spare an hour a week or an hour a day, your time will really make a difference.
