The County is looking to appoint one or more Team Managers to assist the County Coach with the following events:-
• The County Development Day. Selected swimmers attend a full day of training, usually held in September at Southbury Road Pool. Some years, a second County Training Day may also be scheduled.
• The Inter-Counties Competition. A County team of 24 swimmers attends the ASA Inter-Counties Competition in October, usually at Ponds Forge in Sheffield. This is a full weekend commitment.
• The County Overseas Camp. Selected swimmers attend an International competition in Europe, over a weekend with additional travel on Friday/Monday as necessary. This does not happen every year.
The Team Manager will be expected to attend each of the above events, as part of the team.
The position of Team Manager is an unpaid appointment. Transportation, accommodation and meals are provided, and any additional expenses may be claimed in line with standard County procedures.
The Team Manager(s) appointed must be CRB cleared through the ASA (i.e. designated as CRB cleared on the ASA Child Protection List). They should have attended, or be in the process of attending, the ASA training course for Team Managers. They should have signed the ASA Code of Conduct. They should have read and understood the ASA “Safe Sport Away” document.
In detail, the duties of the Team Manager are envisaged to be as follows:-
1. To work under the control of the County Coach.
2. To notify team members of their selection.
