Hi all
Scottish Swimming are delighted to announce the launch of the new Young Volunteer Programme which gives our young members a range of opportunities to support and shape our sport.
This year we have several programmes that young people can sign up to but with limited spaces, available to members over the age of 13.
The Programmes available are:
Young Ambassador Programme
This is a great opportunity for 5 young people aged 16-25 to represent the West in a new national forum. These 5 young people will join 15 others from around the country to help give a voice to the young people in our sport. This is a free programme where they will get to attend an amazing residential weekend!
This is a great opportunity to shape the future of our sport and to develop our young people to give them transferable skills for the future.
This Programme is free and has a closing date of 3rd of November 2019 so please can we ask that you push this quickly!

Young Event Co-ordinator Programme
We are looking for young people aged 16-25 who are interested in how events are organised in Swimming, Water Polo, Synchronised Swimming, Open Water and Diving. These young people will have an opportunity to work alongside and be mentored by our experienced members during the events.
This Programme is free and has a closing date of 17th November 2019.

Young Leader Squad
Following on from the success of the last 3 programmes, candidates will look into why participants drop out of aquatics and help empower and motivate the young people themselves to actively help engage their peers and improve retention rates in their own home clubs.
The Programme will target two young captains/ leaders aged 13-17 (1 boy and 1 girl) from each club within the West District. Each of these captains/ leaders will attend a 2 night residential training camp facilitated by Education Through Cashback, SASA West District and Scottish Swimming Staff. If your club would like more than two places, please email your RSDM, Andy or Paul.
This Programme will cost each individual £150 and the closing date is 27 Feb 2020.
