Southend Swimming Club in Essex is seeking an ambitious, athlete-centred Head Coach to lead the newly formed Southend Swimming Club. The merging of the two Southend clubs has created an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic experienced coach.

Southend Swimming Club train at the excellent 8 lane 25m Southend Leisure Centre at Garon Park and Belfairs 4 lane 25m pool in Leigh. There is a large amount of pool time available over morning and evening sessions for the approximate 275 members with capacity to support the growth of the new club. An experienced coaching team will support the programme. We want to provide a complete swimmer journey from Learn to swim pathways through development and performance squads and Masters swimming.

The merging of the two Southend clubs has been a very positive process and we are ambitious to develop a programme that supports swimming across participation, swimmer progression, coaching quality and long-term sustainability for the City.

Working closely with the Club Committee and coaching team, the Head Coach will provide leadership across the Club’s developing swimming programme, supporting swimmer progress, coach development, competition planning and long-term development opportunities.

This is a hands-on coaching and leadership role with scope to shape the programme delivery, contribute to the Club’s future direction and support the Club’s ambitious growth plans over the coming years.
