Edible Art & Healthy Eating

For those of you who don’t know, our club supports Swim England’s Young Volunteer Award which is designed to provide swimmers aged from 14 and over a structured introduction into volunteering in aquatic settings. The volunteers follow a programme of workshops as well as having to commit to undertaking a set number of hours volunteering on the poolside. Alongside this they also undertake Swim England timekeeping training and have to demonstrate their understanding of volunteering by organising an activity themselves. Normally this would be a swim event but of course that isn’t possible at the moment so they are having to be creative.

The first pair of volunteers taking on their activity are Rosie Linley and Grace Adams who have both been active swimming members for a number of years. Here is the activity they have planned………

Their project is a great opportunity for our younger members and their parents to learn how to create some exciting and healthy edible treats! If you’re a parent of a swimmer aged 7-10 then sign up today via Swim Manager and support our young volunteers!
