π Welcome to the team, Hazel & Robyn! ππ Weβre really pleased to welcome Hazel and Robyn to the AST volunteer team, both joining us as qualified Team Managers! πββοΈπββοΈ Our club simply couldnβt run without volunteers giving up their time to support our swimmers, coaches and events. Every extra person who comes forward makes a genuine difference β it helps spread the workload, takes some of the pressure off those already helping and gives us an even stronger team behind the scenes. A huge thank you as well to everyone who has contacted us or offered to help since our volunteer post last week. Itβs been fantastic to see people stepping forward, and we really appreciate every offer of support. π And there is always room for more! You donβt need years of swimming experience or existing qualifications to get involved. Whether youβd like to help poolside, become a Team Manager, train as a coach or official, support events, join the committee or simply lend a hand when you can, there are plenty of ways to be part of the team β and we can help you develop into a role. The more people we have involved, the more we can do for our swimmers and the stronger AST becomes. π A massive welcome and thank you to Hazel and Robyn β and to every single person who gives their time to keep Academy Swim Team moving forward. Interested in joining them? Get in touch with us and have a chat. Even a small amount of your time can make a big difference. ππ
Read: π Welcome to the team, Hazel & Robyn! πππ A VERY PROUD AST MOMENT π We have some brilliant news to shareβ¦ Tom has been nominated for the Swim England South West Young Coach of the Year Award! π Being recognised at regional level is a huge achievement and a fantastic reflection of the work Tom puts into coaching and supporting our swimmers. Since joining our coaching team, Tom has continued to grow and develop as a coach, while giving an enormous amount back to the club. Whether it is helping a swimmer master something new, encouraging them before a race, supporting them after a difficult session or simply helping make swimming somewhere they look forward to being, his impact reaches far beyond the training set on the board. Our club relies on people who are prepared to give their time, share their knowledge and invest in the next generation of swimmers β and we are extremely fortunate to have Tom as part of our team. We know how much our swimmers value him, and it is wonderful to see his hard work recognised beyond AST as well. From everyone at Academy Swim Team: congratulations, Tom! ππ Thank you for everything you do, keep doing what youβre doing, and enjoy every moment of this very well-deserved recognition. We are incredibly proud of you! πββοΈππ
Read: π A VERY PROUD AST MOMENT ππ ANOTHER BRILLIANT AST NOMINATION! π We are incredibly proud to share that Lewis Duggan has been nominated for the Swim England South West Young Volunteer of the Year Award! π At just 20 years old, Lewis is already making a fantastic contribution to swimming and to Academy Swim Team. As a qualified Level 2 Swimming Teacher and Level 1 Swimming Coach, Lewis brings real knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to the club, supporting our swimmers and helping create the positive environment we want at AST. What makes this nomination especially pleasing is that it recognises far more than simply holding qualifications. It is about giving your time, getting involved, supporting others and choosing to contribute to the development of swimmers and the wider club. Lewis has already achieved a huge amount for someone still at the beginning of his journey in the sport, and we are delighted to see that contribution recognised at South West level. Swimming clubs depend on people who are willing to step forward and play their part, and having young people like Lewis choosing to invest their time and energy into the sport is incredibly valuable. A massive congratulations, Lewis, from everyone at Academy Swim Team! ππ Thank you for everything you do for AST, for our swimmers and for the sport. A fantastic achievement and a very well-deserved nomination! πββοΈππ
