 Volunteering with Chorley Marlins to earn time credits. Tempo Time Credits are a charity who provide recognition to volunteers for their valuable contribution to society. Tempo Time Credits build local and national networks of organisations bringing people together in their local communities to carry out valued and important voluntary work. Volunteers receive Tempo Time Credits for their time volunteering in their community with a network of charity and voluntary organisations or locally commissioned programs. Volunteers with Chorley Marlins will soon be able to earn time credits. Chorley Marlins is run by volunteers and more volunteers are desperately needed to help spread the load and keep everything running smoothly. If you have ever considered volunteering, then now would be the perfect time to get in touch. Volunteering opportunities include taking the register at Mini Marlins on a rota basis, helping out at the Club's galas, joining the Committee, helping poolside and training as a swimming coach. Tempo Time Credits can be used with a network of recognition partners for days out at local and national attractions, classes at local facilities or even for vouchers for shopping and entertainment. Tempo Time Credits online platform also allows people to use Tempo Time Credits for a range of exclusive online offers. How does it work? Give: You Volunteer your time by helping with all kinds of activities. Earn: When you give your time and help, you can earn Tempo Time Credits. It's a way of saying 'thank you'. USE: You can use your Tempo Time Credits on a wide range of activities. You can even take a friend with you! Local rewards include Gym / swim session at All Seasons, Chorley Theatre tickets, Euxton Park Golf Centre, eye tests, guided tours of Hoghton Tower and PNE match tickets. These are some of the ways you can support Chorley Marlins: Committee Membership Like most swim clubs, Chorley Marlins is run by a voluntary Committee, a group of committed volunteers who give up their time and work together to ensure the smooth running of the Club for all our members and support the ongoing development of the Club. We always welcome new members to our club committee and want your voice to be heard for us to make Marlins the best club it can be. Sponsorship & Press Officer To promote and publicise information about the club with local media and help secure external sponsorship and funding. Land Training Co-ordinator We need volunteers to help relaunch and coordinate our land based training sessions. Gala Volunteers As a competitive swimming club, our internal galas are important in the development of our swimmers. We rely on the support of volunteers to make these a success and simply cannot do it without help. Our next Club gala will be on Sunday March 12th at Darwen Leisure Centre. Roles that need filling on gala days include the following: Timekeeper We require a sufficient number of qualified timekeepers to run galas. The Timekeeper course is for club members, parents and volunteers who want to help deliver events. By becoming a timekeeper, you will get a glimpse into the vital world of officiating. The course covers what being a timekeeper is all about through an interactive e-learning which will take you approximately an hour to complete, followed by a practical timekeeping session. This can be completed during a club gala or time trial evening. You can find out more here. Runners These are people who transfer results from poolside to the timing suite and post results etc. Marshalls People who look after and organise the swimmers poolside, moving them from the marshalling area to line up ready for racing. Heat sheets are provided, and you place the swimmers in lane order ready for their race. Door Entry We need two people to staff the door, collect spectator entry fees and sell raffles tickets, swim caps, drinking bottles etc. Support for external galas Chaperone A vital role attending poolside at external galas (where your own child(ren) is/are swimming) to work in a team in ensuring swimmers are sent to the gala's Marshalling area when requested to do so by the gala staff, and generally chaperone the Club's swimmers whilst poolside. Train as a Swimming Coach We would like to hear from anyone interested in becoming a swimming coach. Read more here. Poolside Helper Poolside helpers supports the delivery of club sessions under the supervision of a qualified teacher or coach. Ideally older Club swimmers, 14 plus, looking to support and train younger Club swimmers under the leadership of our Coaching staff. Volunteering also helps older swimmers to re-affirm their own swimming techniques and promotes interaction between the Club squads. This can be as part of the Young Volunteer Award. The Young Volunteer Award is designed to provide young people, between the age of 14 and 17, the opportunity to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to prepare them as Volunteers within Aquatic Sport. You can find out more here. There are opportunities to become a Swimming Lesson Helper supporting Mini Marlins sessions on a Saturday afternoon. Our 14 - 16 year old members may be interested in completing the Institute of Swimming Swimming Lesson Helper course. You can read more here. Existing volunteers will shortly receive a link by email to sign up and start earning time credits in recognition of the time they give the Club. The Club needs new volunteers - please contact us if you can give any time to volunteer with Chorley Marlins. Email us at [email protected] Comments are closed.
