Detailed description
Member of the swimming team
WAAG is looking for a coordinator for our swimming group on Wednesday evenings in De Bongerd. Together with a small team of volunteers, you will ensure that WAAG is the place where everyone who needs guidance can swim. All year round, but not during the summer, Christmas and May holidays. Can you come every week or less often, or do you like to work in a duo, that is certainly possible in consultation.
Would you like to join our swimming team as a coordinator?
Are you ready to become a volunteer/coordinator at WAAG and be part of something sporty and inspiring? Then you can join our swimming group in De Bongerd on Wednesday evenings from 18:45 - 20:00. We would like you to think along with us, make decisions and participate. Together we ensure that everyone who needs help or guidance can enjoy a sporty and fun swimming hour.
What can you do?
- Coaching and coordination: you create the schedule for the weekly presence of sufficient swimming volunteers, including the required expertise (first aid, AED).
- Stronger together: together with your teammates you ensure that everything runs smoothly and safely, both for the participants in the water and when supervising on the shore.
- Guiding the participants: from practicing together to making people feel comfortable in the water. Or playing games together or relaxing in the hot tub.
- Feedback is your friend: working together within the team is fun, you help each other to make everything run smoothly.
- In short, you are the spider in the web who monitors the program and adjusts it where necessary; together with the team you carry the swimming evening.
Who are we looking for?
Someone with a warm heart who likes to work with people who need extra attention to be able to play sports and who can support the supervisors in the swimming team.
Are you someone who
- has an overview, sees what is needed and can support and guide the supervisors in this,
- is flexible and wants to think about what the participants and supervisors need to allow everyone to enjoy swimming and exercising,
- knows how important conviviality and having fun is,
- who has approximately 2.5 hours per week available,
Then we would like to meet you!
What do we offer you?
- Fun and meaningful volunteer work as a coordinator at a swimming group
- The opportunity to use your creativity and ideas within the swimming group and within WAAG
- Opportunities to learn and grow
- A sporting activity in which you also work on your own fitness.
