Lynch Family Guard's Gift Award: The Lynch family have been heavily involved in swimming over the years, with Tim and David both competing at a high level, and their mother Julie helping out at club events. David is now a member of our committee. This is awarded to someone in grateful appreciation for their many devoted hours of encouragement and help throughout the season. This season's award goes to someone who was always the first to put up their hand to time keep and to help set up or pack up at our events: Garry Thompson.
Club person of the year: This is a new award presented to the person who has made an outstanding contribution to the functioning of the club over the season. This person has deserved this for more than this season, probably ever since joining the committee. Having been both president and secretary for a season, Mardi Henman has stepped in to the secretary role and has done an amazing job. She has streamlined many processes and helped everyone on the committee in their roles while excelling in her own. She has been instrumental in getting the Dolphin timing system in place both within our club and within the local schools.
Life members: The committee have chosen to award life membership to someone who was a member of the former Yanco Swimming Club when her children swam in the early 2000s, becoming a technical official. She has continued to assist as a technical official after her children had left swimming, helping regularly at time trials and both club and school carnivals: Loma Harrison.
