Volunteer - Swimming Buddy

🌊 Volunteer Opportunity: Swimming Support Buddy 🌊

Do you enjoy swimming, being active, and making a positive difference in someone’s week? We’re looking for a friendly, reliable volunteer to buddy up with a support worker and a person we support during his weekly swimming session.

đź’™ About the Role
As a Swimming Support Buddy, you’ll accompany him to the pool, provide encouragement, help with confidence in the water, and be a supportive presence throughout the session. You don’t need to be a pro swimmer—just comfortable in the water and happy to help someone enjoy an activity they love.

🤝 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting a gentleman with additional needs during a weekly swim
  • Offering reassurance, prompts, and positive company
  • Helping create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment
  • Building a friendly, consistent connection

✨ What We’re Looking For

  • Warm, patient, and enthusiastic individuals
  • Confident swimmers (no advanced skills required!)
  • Good communication skills
  • Commitment to one session per week
  • Reliability and a sense of fun
  • A commitment to Real Life Options’ values: Respect, Honesty, Responsibility, and Excellence

🌟 What You’ll Gain

  • A rewarding experience and meaningful connection
  • The chance to make a real difference in someone’s wellbeing
  • Increased confidence and new skills
  • Plenty of smiles and feel-good moments

If you’re someone who loves being in the water and wants to help someone else enjoy it too, we’d love to hear from you!

Make waves. Make memories. Volunteer with us! 🌊✨
