Competitions
• We have 4 competitions a year at synchronised swimming.

• Many people volunteer because they could be interested in synchronised swimming and helping out.
My View of Volunteering
• I volunteer to coach synchronised swimming, • Unpaid work. • Gain experience for their future career• Committed • Wanting to help the club
• I coach because I enjoy synchronised swimming also I want to be a teacher and with experience of coaching it shows that I am working with people and shows that I am willing to volunteer for it to give me experience.
