News Item 58 - Head Coach update

Well the number and quality of the candidates applying for the position has been flattering to say the least and the decision to reach a shortlist not easy.

Under Julia Brown as Chair of the Selection Panel, the candidates have been whittled down to 4 all of whom will be invited to attend an interview, prepare a training schedule for a swimmer under set conditions and carry out a short practical in order that we can follow a clear process and deliver the right candidate to take the club through its next stage of development. These interviews will take place over the next week.

We will have a final decision shortly, at which time following their formal acceptance of the post we will notify everyone and introduce the New Head Coach of Chesterfield Swimming Club at the earliest opportunity.

Change is never easy but it is a fact of life and as parents we need to work as a team to support all the swimmers, coaches and teachers to allow this club assume the position it so rightly deserves within British Swimming.

Your help is very much required and appreciated.

Should you have any questions please direct them to Julia Brown, Nigel Butler or me.

Happy Easter.

Mike Ward
Chairman
