A message for all

The club wish to respectfully remind all its volunteers, parents and swimmers that when using social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, they should remember that it is easy to offend others with comments, even if written as a joke.
Many of you are the faces of Kimberley Swimming Club and we are sure you will agree that we all need to preserve the good reputation of our club (and yourselves) especially on any posts involving the club.

E.ON splashes out for Kimberley Swimming Club

Kimberley Swimming Club has been awarded a grant from E.ON’s Employee Community Fund, courtesy of E.ON employee Sharon Knowles.

The grant of £1,740 will be used to pay for specialist aquatic teaching for both able bodied and disabled young people, as well as courses for poolside helpers who assist in disability sessions.

Sharon Knowles, who works in IT at E.ON’s Sherwood Park offices, has been a keen volunteer at Kimberley Swimming Club for the past five years and is involved in not only teaching, but fundraising for the club as well as the organisation of social activities for the swimmers and their families.

“Kimberley Swimming Club provides an excellent service for young people in the local community, many of whom would otherwise not be able to enjoy swimming lessons, and I’m delighted E.ON is able to help in this way,” said Sharon.

“The award will pay for more of our volunteer helpers to become qualified aquatics teachers and go towards ensuring future and long term sustainability of the club.”

The E.ON Employee Community fund invites applications from employees based in the UK for funding of up to £2,000 for charities and community organisations that support education projects or vulnerable consumers.
