Fijian's have a natural passion and ability for sports and the country is sports mad. Yet like many developing countries, Fiji lacks a lot of the necessary infrastructure, funding and expertise to provide adequate sport coaching, equipment and facilities for its people. Our projects aim to work with a number of primary and secondary schools in the west of Fiji providing coaches for PE lessons and after school clubs.

Project Details: TO BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER SPORT. As a swim coach you will have the opportunity to get involved with coaching schools as well as club sessions. Due to the location of our projects you will find it very easy to integrate into the Lautoka/Nadi swim community and so find where your skills can best fit into the varied range of coaching that is required.

Venturers Role: Your role as a Madventurer coach will be to pass on your knowledge and enthusiasm for your particular sport to the kids and adults you teach. We also look for venturers to share coaching skills and techniques with teachers and sports coaches in the region, enabling them to continue and develop the program.

Due to the scheduling of swimming coaching in Fiji, you will get the best out of your project if you consider teaming this sport with the another choice from our wide list of coaching options in this destination.

Location: You would be living in Lautoka, in the Madventurer accommodation. Lautoka is Fiji's second biggest city with an estimated population of 40,000; it's located on the West of Viti Levu near the International Airport of Nadi. Famous for being the centre of Fiji's sugar industry (and nicknamed ˜Sugar City"), Lautoka will give you a fascinating insight into daily island life away from the well beaten tourist track.

Accommodation: Whilst on a project you will be living in the Madventurer house in the suburbs of Lautoka overlooking the bay in the distance. Rooms are a dormitory style with 3 double bunk beds in each, which at capacity means upto 6 people per room.  The house is based about a 15 minute walk from the town centre and within walking distance of most of the schools that we work with. Your crew will be living in the house with you, to provide all the support you may need.

What's included:Meals at the Mad House, accommodation, transport, arrangement of placement and support from our experienced crew should you need it.
