General Committee Members

 

We have a number of committee members who provide us with support, guidance and feeback.  You do not have to take on a named role to join the committee.

 

We are always looking for additional committee members who can attend meetings, share ideas, ask questions, offer feedback, and bring a parent perspective to club discussions.

 

Sometimes just having another voice in the room is incredibly valuable.

 

A general committee member can support the club in a flexible way, without needing to lead a specific area.

​

​Other Available Roles

 

We are also looking for parents or carers who may be interested in supporting the club in specific areas. These roles do not need to be overwhelming or time-consuming. Many can be shared, shaped around availability, or supported by other committee members.

 

Social Media Coordinator

 

This role would help keep our social media active, positive and engaging.

 

This could include sharing club news, celebrating swimmer achievements, promoting events, posting reminders, and helping show the brilliant things happening across the club.

 

Grants, Fundraising and Sponsorship

 

This role would help the club look for opportunities to raise funds or access support.

 

This could include researching grants, contacting local businesses, helping with sponsorship ideas, supporting fundraising activities, or looking at ways to bring in extra funding for equipment, training and club development.

 

Club Growth and Outreach Support

 

This role would help us think about how we attract new swimmers and families to the club. This could include looking at promotional opportunities, links with local schools, community events, taster sessions, posters, website information, and ways to make it easy for new families to understand what the club offers.

 

This would support the wider membership work without needing to take on the full membership administration role.

 

Meet Coordinator

 

This role would help organise and communicate swimming meet opportunities for our swimmers. This could include keeping track of upcoming meets, sharing entry information with parents, helping coordinate entries, reminding families about deadlines, and supporting communication between parents, coaches and the committee.

 

The Meet Coordinator helps make the competition side of swimming feel clearer and easier for families to navigate.

 

Events Coordinator

 

This role would help plan and organise more club events.

 

This could include presentation evenings, social events, fundraising activities, team celebrations, fun sessions, or other activities that bring swimmers and families together away from regular training and competitions.

 

Club events are a great way to build team spirit and help families feel part of the wider club community.

 

Kit and Merchandise Coordinator

 

This role would help manage club clothing and kit orders.

 

This could include liaising with suppliers, sharing order forms, helping with sizing information, coordinating orders, and distributing items when they arrive.

 

Having someone to support this area helps make it easier for families to order club kit and helps keep swimmers looking and feeling part of the team.
