Current Vacancies
Eastleigh Swim Club is a well-established and friendly club based at Places Leisure in Eastleigh with additional sessions run at Oaklands Community Pool in Southampton. We are SwimMark accredited and operate an integrated development programme which starts with our Swim School and produces swimmers who have competed at County, Regional and National level. Our Masters programme, successfully running for a year, is one of the club's newest exciting developments. With 18 active swimmers, we are keen to further integrate this group into the club’s activities, building on their recent participation in our club championships and aiming for county/national competitions in the future.
Assistant Head Coach
Our club is looking for an ambitious and committed person to assist our Head Coach in leading the team, and in return offers a genuine opportunity for the right candidate to play a major role in shaping its future.
We are looking for someone with these 5 key attributes:
- Comfortable working collaboratively with swimmers, parents, coaches and the committee to promote a positive and inclusive environment which reflects the club’s culture and ethos.

- Confident in providing both leadership and support to our team of dedicated coaches and teachers.
- Able to adapt their approach to successfully engage with swimmers of varying abilities and aspirations.
- Keen to inspire through their enthusiasm.
The role is part-time and will include morning and evening training sessions. It will also involve attending open meets and county/regional weekends. However, we’re a pragmatic club and flexible in our approach, so we can likely accommodate your working patterns.
The successful candidate will at minimum hold an ASA Level 2 Coaching Award or the Swim England Swimming Coach Certificate. You will either already be an Assistant Head Coach at another club or be able to demonstrate that you have sufficient experience to step up into the role.
