  Sponsored Swim, Distance Badge Night
 

Dear Parents and Carers,

All children are invited to take part in our sponsored swim/distance badge night.

This will take place at 5.00pm on Sun 5th September for stages 1 to 3 and Sun 12th September for stages 4 to 7. All stages are included and their teachers have recommended what distance they should aim for.

As the event is to achieve distance badges as well as a sponsored swim, children need to swim to ASA standard which means a full stroke must be accomplished. 

Badges and certificates will be available for purchase on the night. 

Any further questions please speak to Jane Booth or Vicki Clarke or email: learn2swim@newtonabbotswimmingclub.co.uk.

Thanks for your support
Learn to Swim Team

Committee Vacancy

   

A committee vacancy has arisen and we are looking for an enthusiastic person interested in actively helping the existing committee to manage and make decisions about your club. 

  • The vacancy is an additional committee member post, therefore, no specific duties are allocated to this position.
  • We meet once a month, normally on a Wednesday or Thursday starting 7.30pm and meetings are approx. 2 hrs long.
  • At present the committee consists of a group of 15 friendly parents and we are keen to make it 16.

If you are interested in how your child’s swimming club is managed, would like to be involved in making decisions and able to help at galas and social events we would like to hear from you. 

   
  Non Committee Posts
   

In addition to the above vacancy we still have not filled the following non committee posts.

  • Gala Officials Organiser
  • Social Secretary ................................................Job Discription click here ...
  • Swim 21 Accreditation Co-ordinator ....................Job Discription click here ...

These posts do not involve attending committee meetings, unless necessary, but you will need to work with and support existing committee members.  Job descriptions are available if you are interested and need more information.
