| Purpose | Derby Phoenix Swimming Club is a competitive organisation which aims to train young swimmers of all abilities to attain a high standard of competitive achievement, and at the same time enjoy themselves. Throughout the year the Club competes in a regular programme of team galas, both locally and across the Midlands region. The Club also competes each year in the Derbyshire County Championships. Derby Phoenix encourages any swimmer who meets the required standard to take up the opportunity to train with and swim for Derventio Excel, Derbyshire’s elite squad. The Club is welcoming and friendly, and has been in existence for many years. Originating in around 1959 as the swimming section of the Derby Baths Life-Saving and Swimming Club, the Club later changed its name to the Derby Baths Swimming Club. The current name, PHOENIX, was adopted in 1974 and has been in use since. Derby Phoenix Swimming Club is run by an elected committee of volunteers, which is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Club: making sure the Club operates within ASA rules, securing pool-time for training sessions, liaising with other clubs to organise or attend galas, promoting the sale of club equipment and swimming gear, and of course ensuring that the Club operates in a financially responsible manner. All training sessions, timetables, training schedules, team selection and swimming gala organisation are the responsibility of the Chief Coach, supported by the coaching team. However, the coaching team rely very much on support given by parents to ensure that training sessions and time-trials run effectively. The Club encourages any parent willing to assist the Club to obtain basic swim-coaching and teaching qualifications by providing financial assistance. |
