We Need Program Leaders and Coaches

How about becoming a Program Leader and provide assistance to our wonderful coaches.
 
As a Program Leader you will direct a training session on behalf of an accredited  coach. All you need to do is a few online modules (taking about 8 hours in total and spread over time) – no on deck hours required. If you like you can “upgrade” to full accreditation as a coach.
 
We also really need more Coaches who can lead our wonderful  training sessions on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s.
 
  • Qualified coaches are our Club’s greatest asset
  • Qualified coaches provide a valuable service to our swimmers
  • Qualified coaches are supported by MSA / MSWA programs and insurance.
We will reimburse your Program Leader fee and/or coaching fees once you are done!
 
If you have a passion for swimming or coaching please find out more information here and let us know and we will assist you in your journey.
