Volunteers at Heath Town Swimming Club

Heath Town Swimming Club is built on the dedication of volunteers. Every gala, training session, assessment and club event happens because parents, swimmers and community members give their time to support our young athletes.

Volunteering is at the heart of our club — and we’re proud of the friendly, committed team who help make swimming accessible, safe and enjoyable for everyone.

 

Why Volunteers Matter

Our volunteers support the club in many ways, including:

  • Poolside assistance
  • Gala and Time Trial officiating and marshalling
  • Fundraising and events
  • Administration and communication
  • Committee roles
  • Supporting new swimmers and families

Whether you can help once a month or once a week, every contribution makes a real difference.

 

We Need More Volunteers

As the club continues to grow, we’re looking for more people to join our volunteer team. You don’t need swimming experience — just enthusiasm, reliability and a willingness to help.

Volunteering is flexible and designed to fit around busy family life. Many roles take less than an hour a week, and training or guidance is always provided.

 

🔔 Committee Vacancies (Urgent)

We currently have four vacant committee positions, and filling these roles is essential for the smooth running of the club.

Vacancies include:

  • General Committee Member (x2)
  • Competition Administration
  • Membership Administration
  • Events & Fundraising Support

If you’re interested in helping shape the future of the club, please visit our Committee Page for full details.

 

Timekeepers

It takes up to 20 officials to run a gala event and each club has to provide a few officials to make up that number. We welcome anyone that would like to become a timekeeper, it gets you close to the action and is rewarding and engaging.
