Poolside & Events Volunteering
Get Involved
Poolside & Events
Support our swimmers where it matters most — at the pool and at competitions.
Poolside Helper
Support coaches during training sessions, particularly with younger or less experienced swimmers. No formal qualifications are required to get started, and full guidance is provided through Swim England.
Team Manager
Coordinate the logistics and welfare of swimmers at galas — from travel arrangements to poolside support on the day. A valid DBS check is required for this role.
Swim England offer a free Team Manager course to help you get started. It covers everything from gala day responsibilities to safeguarding and communication.
Timekeeper
Record race times at competitions using stopwatches or electronic timing equipment. This is a great way to get involved on the day of a gala. Full training is provided — no experience necessary.
Marshalling
Help get swimmers organised, calm, and ready before their races. Marshals play a vital role in keeping competitions running smoothly and on time. Training is provided and it is a brilliant way to be part of the action.
