Two club captains (one male and one female) are elected each year, usually in May and their term of office covers the Swimming season - September to July of the following year.

The qualities and roles of the Club Captains are as follows:

  • Be a positive role model as a swimmer for all club members - demonstrating high standards of behaviour, in attitude and application, when training and competing
  • Provide a point of contact for communication on behalf of the swimmers
  • Being present and of assistance at club organised activities, including presenting prizes at the Club’s Christmas Gala
  • Communicate with fellow team members, and provide support and advice where needed
  • Encourage club members to be involved in social activities within the club
  • Make an effort to meet new members to the club and to be encouraging to all swimmers
  • Always promote club spirit. Be available to listen to the needs and concerns of other swimmers and if needed, represent these to the committee through the Club Captain Liaison committee member
  • Assist the committee in representing the views of the swimmers

 

Hi!  My name is Scott (Ringland).  I am in 5th year in Wesley College at the moment.  I'm 17 and I've been swimming since I was about 6 years old.  I started off swimming in Trojan Swim Club but moved here to Glenalbyn about 3 years ago and I'm happy I made that decision.  I think swimming is a great way to keep fit with a few added perks along the way!!
