🏊‍♂️ Our Club Captain Workshop 💙💛

As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 season, our swimmers came together after the pool session yesterday for a Club Captain Workshop to explore what makes a great Club Captain, and the qualities that help build a positive club community.

Through their discussions, the swimmers shared their ideas on leadership, teamwork, kindness, respect and leading by example. The outcome was a reflection of what they value in a Club Captain and how we can all play a part in making Laois Marlins a supportive and welcoming club. 💙💛

A big thank you to Sean Smyth for facilitating the workshop and guiding the discussion, and to Anna Grimes for organising the breakfast for everyone. ☕🥐

Thank you to all the swimmers who took part and shared their ideas. It’s great to see our swimmers thinking about how we can continue to grow stronger together as a club! 🏊‍♀️🤝
