Outstanding Contribution by a Young Volunteer.
Last weekend Kimberley Volunteer Rebecca Barsby was invited to attend the ASA Gala dinner as a result of becoming the Aquaforce winner of the East Midlands Region, in the category - 'Outstanding Contribution by a Young Volunteer'.
The award given to an aquatics volunteer under the age of 25, in recognition that they've made a difference within aquatics and continue to be a role model, demonstrating a commitment of their personal time to support other club members/individuals.
Rebecca started at Kimberley at the age of 5 before gaining a place with Nova, at the age of 10, subsequently then spending 9 years with Nova finishing in Summer 2012, to have more time to focus on other roles and University work (and to have a lie in).
During her time on Nova Rebecca competed at a National and Senior National level for 5 years and at the Olympic trials, mainly in all the breaststroke events, but also the 200m and 400m IM, in addition to the 200m butterfly. Over the years she won many medals and trophies including Regional Championship trophies, finishing at Nova with a gold at the Youth Nationals doing the 100m breaststroke leg of the 4x100m medley relay.
Some years before finishing as a swimmer with Nova Rebecca helped out at local swimming and lifesaving clubs and also began volunteering with school disability swimming lessons through Nottingham City Council. Since Rebecca has been a volunteer coach with Nova, being mentored by the Nottingham coaches on all the squads and continues to volunteer there as well as the sessions she takes at Kimberley.
Well done Rebecca.
