Ruth chosen as Leyland Rotary volunteer

We are proud to be working with Leyland Rotary who have generously donated funds to support the training of one of our aspiring volunteers. 

2021 has seen the introduction of this partnership which we hope will be able to continue in future years so that together we can support the training of volunteers who give up their personal time to support the development of others.

Leyland Rotary have provided financial support to a new aspiring volunteer to support their attainment of SwimEngland Level 1 teaching status.  Rotary have been impressed by just what opportunities competitive sport and volunteering have made possible to our members.  To this end, with their financial support, we have established the ‘Making a Difference’ Award.  

The award is on offer to those poolside volunteers who are on the Club’s volunteering pathway and who have ambitions to progress in aquatics and our first volunteer to secure this support is former age group swimmer and swim parent, Ruth Owens. Ruth is well aware of the benefits of participating in competitive sport and knows only too well the role that volunteers play in providing opportunities for young athletes.  She is delighted to be announced as the Leyland Rotary Making a Difference Volunteer and we are delighted that she has joined our poolside team. We wish her well as she seeks to gain her Swim England Level 1 award.
