Qualified ASA Referee

Qualified First Aider

Carole joined Jersey Swimming Club in the 1970s when her two daughters, Tina and Julie, became members. They went on to join the Competitive Squad and both enjoyed trips away as members of the team. Julie became an Island Champ in 1979 when she won 4 out of 5 of the available events.  Carole was Vice President in 1986 but took a break from membership when her daughters stopped swimming. She later returned as Club Administrator and Licensee for the Pool View Cafe at Fort Regent, a very strong social venue for the club at that time. Since then she has seen the club move to the Aquasplash and to Langford and has been involved in the growth of available lessons from Parents & Babes/Toddlers, Learn to Swim, Development and Competitive Squads, Swim for Sport, and Masters. Becoming Hon. President in 2009. Carole maintains that the growth of the Club is down to the excellent team of coaches and teachers who are all dedicated to the sport and says "Having been founded in 1865 it is the duty of all members to pass the thriving club on to the next generation." Her words are so true - this is such a precious and worthy club that blends communities and offers opportunity to all.
