Salisbury Stingrays exists because people give a little of their time to support our swimmers and the wider club.
We are a charity run by volunteers. Whether you can help every week, once a month or only at an occasional competition, your contribution can make a real difference.
You do not need previous experience. We are an extremely friendly and supportive group, and we will help you find a role that suits your interests, skills and availability.
Get Involved
Volunteers form the backbone and heart of the Swim England community. They support clubs, events and programmes across the country and help ensure that aquatic sport continues to grow and thrive.
Volunteering is hugely rewarding. It is a great way to develop yourself and others, meet new people, become more involved in your local community and give something back.
There are many different roles available, whether you want to volunteer regularly or only now and then. Some roles require no formal training, while others can lead to recognised qualifications and opportunities to become involved in regional or national events.
You may even find yourself helping at a major competition and meeting some of your sporting heroes.

Volunteering at Salisbury Stingrays
Salisbury Stingrays Swimming Club is a charity run by volunteers. Polly coordinates and supports our volunteer community and will help you find a suitable way to get involved.
We are an extremely friendly group and enjoy being part of our children’s swimming journey. New volunteers are supported throughout, including access to Team Manager or officials training where appropriate.
Even if you can offer only a small amount of time, or can help only occasionally, you will be very welcome. There is nearly always something useful you can do.
At swimming competitions and club events, volunteer roles may include:
- Poolside set-up and equipment.
- Marshalling swimmers before races.
- Meet-and-greet and entry-table support.
- Results recording and posting.
- Medal-table assistance.
- Refreshments, raffle and fundraising support.
- Runners and general event helpers.
Do not worry if you are unsure or nervous about helping for the first time. We can explain the task and pair you with an experienced volunteer.
