Our Young Aquatic Volunteer Programme is designed to support participants through the Swim England North West Young Volunteer Award so that they can achieve experience of volunteering and gain valuable life skills.  

Whatever a member’s swim group, when they reach 14 we want to provide them with an opportunity to grow and develop, not just as athletes, but as young people.  Our Young Aquatic Volunteer Programme is designed to support participants through the Swim England North West Young Volunteer Award by providing them with support and the essential poolside experience required to achieve the award.   At the same time our Young Aquatic Volunteers (YAVs) make a crucial difference to our club, offering their time and expertise to support the coaching of some of the younger swimming groups.
