Clitheroe Dolphins is far more than just a swimming club — it is a community built by passionate people, supportive families, dedicated coaches and an incredible team of volunteers working behind the scenes every day.
From poolside support and gala organisation to fundraising, safeguarding, officiating and committee roles, the club simply would not be what it is today without the time, energy and commitment of its people. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps create opportunities for our swimmers to learn, compete, grow in confidence and enjoy the sport. We are always grateful for support and warmly welcome anyone who would like to get involved.
Whether you can help regularly or occasionally, volunteer support plays a huge part in keeping Clitheroe Dolphins moving forward — stronger together in every stroke.
