Job Title: ASA County Swimming Coordinator - Tyne & Wear

I am the County Swimming Co-ordinator (CSC) for Tyne and Wear and act as the first point of contact for any of the ASA services or products, including education, club development and assistance to pool providers and will be working with all of our partners in the county.

I am also involved with promoting the Government’s Free Swimming initiative, with initial emphasis on the over 60 age range; ensuring the delivery of agreed KPIs. The role will also involve creating successful partnerships e.g. with local authorities, to secure the desired culture change required in and around swimming, to encourage people to swim and to swim more frequently.

Currently since starting my post I have been focusing on setting up an education programme to meet the needs in the county and working closely with Local authorities to set up Free Swimming Lessons.
