YDSC Committee
At Yeovil & District Swimming Club we are very fortunate to have an amazing bunch of volunteers/parents that make up the Committee. They meet up regularly during the year – usually about every four to six weeks.
The current executive committee structure consists of three executive officers; being the Chairman, Club Secretary and Treasurer. In addition, there are other role-based positions on the committee to represent the key functions and operations of the club.
If you have any issues you would like raised at a committee meeting please see a member at the pool or contact us via email.
The club is always on the lookout for new volunteers so if you have some spare time or would like to get involved please contact us: [email protected]
The YDSC committee is made up of the following people:
President – Sharon Card
Sharon has the honour of being the YDSC President and is our figurehead both within and outside the club. Sharon is also a Level 1 coach who coaches with the Skills Squad. She is a mum of two and both sons are part of YDSC. One of her sons, Ben, coaches the Potential Squad and the other son swims with the club.
Chairman – Andy Margrett – [email protected]
Andy has been involved in the club since 2022 when his daughter began swimming with the club. Prior to becoming Chair he was a member of the committee and this season he will also be supporting as a Team Manager. Away from swimming Andy is a HR Manager and has previous committee experience as a school governor and Board Member of local Medical Services Charity.
