Swim Club Volunteer

Who Are We?

Sunbeam was founded in 1982 and since then we have done much more than just swim. Sunbeam was set up because there was a real need for disability inclusive activities in Horsham. Swimming is one of the best ways to keep fit and active, whatever your ability level and as well as the physical benefits, it is also a very sociable way to get out and meet other accepting people.

Many of our members bring friends, family and carers to join in. Sometimes it is to help with specific needs, other times it is so that they can enjoy swimming together in an accepting and inclusive environment. With the support of our fantastic volunteers, it is always great to see so many swimmers progressing with their skills and technique when they want to and although we are not a competitive club, some of our talented swimmers have taken part in galas and competitions.

The Role

Do you have a passion for swimming or supporting sports? We are looking for volunteers to help at our weekly club practice.

We meet weekly but are looking for help at least once a month on the poolside, encouraging swimmers, helping them stay motivated and generally making sure everything runs smoothly.

We have an annual swim gala and go to other galas a few times a year.

What skills do I need?

• Flexibility
• Sense of humour
• People person
• Knowledge of swimming a help but not essential
• Compassion
