Committee
Our committee is made up of volunteers who hold a passion for the smooth running and operations of Poynton Dippers Swimming Club. Many of our committee are parents of active swimmers at the club. The club abides by its constitution, and operates within the Swim England's Code of Ethics.
Welfare
The safety of our members is of great importance to us. The majority of our members are children. We therefore ensure all our coaches have up to date DBS and Safeguarding certificates. We implement the Swim England Wave Power policies on welfare. We have a dedicated Welfare officer who has been specifically trained by Swim England for the role.

Club Volunteers
The club has a set of roles which sit outside the committee but just as vital in the running of the club. Our volunteers give us their own time to perform key roles which is very much appreciated by all the members - thank you!
