If you can spare 2 hours a week, we are seeking local volunteers who would be willing to devote their time during term time to support our students in the water during their swimming lessons.

This is a hugely rewarding experience, and you will find our students are highly motivated, appreciative and love swimming!

You will need to:

• enjoy being in the water and able to swim a minimum of 25m
• enjoy working with children and young people
