A huge thank you to every volunteer across Cambridgeshire swimming who gives their time, energy and care throughout the season.

Whether you’re helping at Mini Meets, Club Championships, County events, galas, officiating, timekeeping, team managing, organising entries, coordinating behind the scenes, or supporting on the day, your contribution makes a real difference.

Without volunteers, our swimmers simply wouldn’t have the opportunities to compete and develop through the sport. Your dedication helps create pathways that can take athletes from local mini meets all the way to Regional, National, European and even International stages!

As we approach the final County event of the season, we’d love your support once again. Please consider signing up to volunteer at the Development Championships and help us finish the season on a high.

Thank you for everything you do for swimming in Cambridgeshire.

Have a go at Water Polo?

We are offering swimmers an opportunity to have a water polo taster session. Strong swimming is fundamental for water polo and playing can be mutually beneficial for swimming and swimming clubs – maintaining interest and increasing motivation. Water Polo is a sociable team sport and a great sport to pick-up at university or later in life.

Led by a water polo coach with decades of experience, the session will be a one-hour introduction to this fast and exciting sport and include: how to swim with the ball, treading water (eggbeater kick), throwing (passing and shooting) and match play.
