Successful applicants will then be invited to a free workshop on Sunday 1 November (10am to 1pm) where you’ll learn the basics of assisting in both swimming and gymnastics to support our qualified teachers.
Whether you’re a student, in work, or a parent, if you’re 14+ and keen to get involved, we’d love to hear from you. This is your chance to gain experience, give back to your community, and explore a future in sport.
