Team Managers Course (Not just for Team Managers!)
Swim England have brought in new rules that the Team Manager qualification is required by anyone wishing to be on poolside for the Nationals and it is being filtered down to Open Meets etc.
The course is the ‘Team Managers 1 & 2’ and is completed as a 1-off course. It does not need to be repeated or renewed.
Any person wishing to be on poolside at gala’s and open meets will need to have this.
Seaclose are hosting a course and with the tutor coming to the Island we have special permission to complete both modules will be covered on the same day.
The date is Saturday 30th September at Medina Leisure Centre. Time to be confirmed but will likely be between 8.30 – 4 p.m.
The course is free for Seaclose S.C. Members and parents.

Can you help – kit co-ordinator needed
Kit co-ordinator needed – not too onerous a job and gets you involved with your club and all members/volunteers.
We need someone to take over the kit co-ordination with Kudos (and the lovely Spencer!), keep up to date records of kit we have in stock and order at the relevant times, issuing a polo shirt and hat to any new junior squad member, lifeguard, coaches and that’s really it.
With a club membership of 160 odd swimmers & volunteers if you can help please email clubsecretary@seaclosesc.co.uk
Many thanks
