White Cliffs Swimmers Complete Swim England Young Volunteer Programme


We are proud to share that a number of our swimmers have successfully completed the Swim England Young Volunteer Programme — with several even achieving their GOLD award! 🎉

The Young Volunteer Programme, run across the South East by Swim England, gives young people the chance to get involved in a variety of roles within aquatics. From helping poolside at training sessions, to assisting at galas and learning about officiating, the programme provides valuable skills and experiences that go far beyond the water.

For our swimmers, it has been an incredibly rewarding journey.

They’ve gained confidence, leadership skills, and a real insight into what it takes to support a club community. Alongside this, their efforts have already been recognised, with Swim England encouraging participants to share their stories at a regional level.

We’re delighted that our young volunteers have not only represented the club so well, but also inspired others by giving back to the sport they love. Their contributions — whether through coaching support, officiating, or helping younger swimmers — make a real difference and highlight the strength of our club spirit.

A huge congratulations to all our participants for their achievements. We’re excited to see how their volunteering experiences continue to shape their future within aquatics.
