A central part of the role is coaching, supporting, and developing our coaches as well as creating a clear thread throughout the entire program. Work in the swim school may occur, with the opportunity to contribute to its continued development.

You work closely with the operations manager, board, and other coaches and collaborate with external actors within swimming. The position includes participation in competitions, camps, and meetings as well as some administrative work. Good system skills, preferably in SportAdmin, are meritorious.
