We introduced our Young Volunteer Programme in October 2017. Following an initiative proposed by Swim North West, Formby Swimming Club is working with Formby Pool Trust on a programme to develop our more experienced club swimmers into Junior Coaches. This involves a number of class room sessions, structured coaching qualifications and most importantly exposure and active participation in poolside coaching. The benefits of the programme include personal and professional swimmer development, achievement of elements of the Duke of Edinburgh qualification and a future pool of coaching talent for both Formby Swimming Club and Formby Pool Trust.
