ILKLEY Swimming Club is in urgent need of new coaches following the departure of the hard working Mark Stead, due to work pressures.

The club has more than 100 members of various ages, including an enthusiastic 'masters' section.

There are no age limits to the role and may suit ex competitive swimmers, sports teachers or older people who enjoy encouraging youngsters to excel.

It could also be a stepping stone to a swimming teacher qualification.

The club hopes to have several people to cover the three evenings each week, namely Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

The applicants can do one, two or three evenings to suit, as well as encouragement at the occasional gala.

Please phone Jenny Freeman on 431510 if you think this role may be of interest to you.
