Train as a Swimming Coach

We would like to hear from anyone interested in becoming a swimming coach. This is open to anyone over 16 years of age so could be of interest to swimmers aged 16+, parents, family members and friends.

Coaches help swimmers to grow their capability and develop the skills and techniques to achieve their full potential. An assistant coach can start by simply helping during training sessions, with the option of taking formal training courses. 

In return for a commitment to volunteer with Chorley Marlins for 1-2 hours a week the club will support you in achieving a coaching qualification through experience and funding. The first level of qualification focuses how and what to coach. Once completed, coaches are qualified to actively support a more senior qualified or licensed coach at any level, in the delivery of a pre-prepared session.

Swim England Swimming Assistant (Coaching) Certificate

• This qualification teaches the basics of coaching swimming.
• It will equip you with the knowledge and tools to actively support a more experienced swimming coach in the delivery of a pre-prepared session.
• You must be at least 16 years old to take this course.

​Volunteering with Chorley Marlins could be a useful addition to CVs and University application personal statements.

We would also like to hear from anyone who has previously helped at training sessions and would be willing to support the club again.
