Can you help – kit co-ordinator needed

Kit co-ordinator needed – not too onerous a job and gets you involved with your club and all members/volunteers.

We need someone to take over the kit co-ordination with Kudos (and the lovely Spencer!), keep up to date records of kit we have in stock and order at the relevant times, issuing a polo shirt and hat to any new junior squad member, lifeguard, coaches and that’s really it.

With a club membership of 160 odd swimmers & volunteers if you can help please email clubsecretary@seaclosesc.co.uk

Many thanks

Thursday Night Sessions – Final session 9th March 2017

It has recently become clear that we are unable to maintain the current demands on our coaching volunteers.

As a result, the Club’s Committee has now taken the difficult decision to cancel our booking at The Heights on Thursday evenings as of the 10th March 2017 – our last session will therefore be Thursday 9th March 2017.

We are currently enjoying additional pool time on a Sunday evening in a combined session with West Wight Swimming Club and look to continue that relationship moving forward. We are also exploring other ways that we can offer our members the option of increased pool time and hope to make an announcement shortly.

As part of our commitment to expanding our volunteer base we are currently seeking expressions of interest for persons to undertake a Level 1 Coaching course at Waterside Pool.

If you are interested in undertaking the course and would like to volunteer for the Club, or have further questions, please in the first instance contact Julie Van der Helstraete, Club Secretary at clubsecretary@seaclosesc.co.uk
