Your club and all the people who can't swim really need you. Many activities of clubs depend on volunteers. If you love swimming and have the ABC diploma yourself, you can become a coach. You provide training in one of the aquatic sports: competitive swimming, water polo, lifesaving, or fin swimming. You teach children, youth, and adults to swim technically well and to take their sport seriously. You ensure that the participants enjoy it so much that they keep swimming. "Staying swimming" is a big problem. Aquatic clubs lose many members, including children, youth, and young adults:
  • When they go to secondary education,
  • Transition to higher education,
  • Start working,
  • When friends drop out,
  • Have children,
  • Realize they're not getting any better,
  • Are surpassed by others.


Not all members of a club are primarily focused on performance. For example, they come for the camaraderie, the social contacts with like-minded people, and the outings to competitions. To make both the more sports-oriented individuals and others enjoy themselves, many staff members are needed. Especially young people who are willing to give training or be officials. As an MDT participant, you can be trained for this and work at your club at the same time. You must be over 16 years old. ExpeditieRED will train you to become a level 2 coach. If you are a member of the KNZB, you can do this through the KNZB. If you are not yet a member, we will make you a member of the KNZB. You will receive an official KNZB coach diploma recognized by NOC*NSF at level MBO 2.
You will learn primarily:
  • How to deal with groups and individuals in groups.
  • How to create a safe environment.
  • How to give training with pleasure.
  • How to teach techniques from your sport to children and young people.
  • How to implement training programs.
  • How to ensure that participants have fun and satisfaction in what they do.

We do this in various ways with games, instruction, and other challenges to make it more enjoyable for children


A social service time trajectory lasts a maximum of 6 months. During that period, you will provide approximately 45 hours of training in the pool. Additionally, you will receive 35 hours of training. In total, you will be actively involved for 80 hours during those 6 months.
The group to which you provide training depends on your choice. You can provide training to:
- Children in primary school age,
- Juniors,
- Seniors.
You will be guided in your choices, and this also applies throughout the entire trajectory. You will discuss what you will be doing with your coordinator from ExpeditieRED.


Of course, we collaborate closely with your club because it must align with their goals as well. With each club, we assess together what the club needs and wants. We also agree on who can guide you and ensure that you feel comfortable in your role.

To work effectively with clubs, ExpeditieRED is limited to Southwest Netherlands. If you are not a member of a club and have little swimming experience, you may be better suited to become an assistent (see the "assistent" playlist).

Content

Je leert hoe je jouw taken in een evenement uitvoert. In de regel wordt er voor een evenement een draaiboek gemaakt waarin is beschreven:
  • hoe het evenement van stap tot stap verloopt,
  • waarin staat wie, wanneer, wat doet,
  • hoe er wordt samengewerkt.

Jij voert de aan jou opgedragen taken uit zodat:
  • het eindresultaat van het evenement zo goed mogelijk wordt gerealiseerd,
  • de samenwerking tussen deelnemers en begeleiding prettig en zo goed mogelijk verloopt,
  • de samenwerking tussen kaderleden en de begeleiding prettig en zo goed mogelijk verloopt.
Je signaleert wat er fout gaat, en lost dat zo nodig samen met anderen op. Je stelt de verantwoordelijke daarvan op de hoogte. Als jij het probleem om één of andere reden niet op kan lossen, vraag je de verantwoordelijke voor het evenement dat te doen.
