Swim Teacher Assistant

Leisure and Culture Dundee
VO73398

There are many and varied reasons that volunteers are an asset to the aquatics programme and we aim to make it as inclusive as possible.

Many children with additional support needs can cope with mainstream swimming lessons with additional support, either in-water or on poolside
Disability swim classes benefit from extra support and a volunteer can make a great difference to the progress these children can make.

Some children, particularly pre-school children, have never been in a swimming pool and volunteers can make a huge difference by helping alleviate their fears.

Experience required

Swimming ability and water confidence, good communication skills, enthusiasm for working with disabled children and/or children with additional support needs or fears.
