We have a small but perfectly formed coaching team at Royston, however we are on the look out for more people to join our team and help develop our swimmers and build on our successes.  

We are a development club (approximately 100 swimmers) in North Hertfordshire which is currently in Division One in the Herts Majors League with an excellent reputation for producing County, Regional, and national-level swimmers in partnership with our link club City of Cambridge. Our ethos is to support all our swimmers in gaining the many physical and mental wellbeing benefits of swimming in a friendly but purposeful environment.

Please apply by email to secretary@roystonswimmingclub.co.uk enclosing both a CV and short cover letter. The same email address should be used if you have any questions before applying or if you want to come and see the club.
