This year we have decided to award the Morgan Trophy to Jennie Moger.  Jennie has been a long-term supporter of the club with two sons who now swim in our Competitive Squads.      Jennie's volunteering journey began when she supported as one of our 'poolside helpers' during the pandemic enabling our sessions to restart.  Then, her journey gathered momentum as she began training for her Timekeeper qualification to support at our home meets. From there, she swiftly completed her Judge Level 1 qualification and most recently her Judge Level 2.  As a Club with so few volunteers who have undertaken this training, Jennie's support has been absolutely invaluable and, as part of our team, has enabled countless swimmers to compete in the sport they love.    Not content with always wearing white, Jennie has opted to keep her Marlins life busy and varied.  She has completed her Team Manager qualification to help the coaches poolside at meets and she recently volunteered many hours to support our younger swimmers in PC1 - encouraging warm ups and keeping them swimming.    Most recently, Jennie has taken over as our SwimMark Coordinator which involves high levels of organisation and many hours chasing, collating and submitting documentation.  Compliance to SwimMark is important to us as a Club as the 'gold standard' for clubs in terms of governance, sustainability and effectiveness.    A heartfelt thank you Jennie, from us all for all that you do.    Mid Sussex Marlins Board of Directors  Jennie receiving her Morgan Trophy- Congratulations Jennie

Idun M of Marlins travelled together with 12 other girls to Walsall this weekend to represent the South East region in the girls U14 Inter-Regional water polo championship. The team fought well but suffered some narrow defeats in the group stages on the first day, but then turned things around on day two winning two matches on the trot in the play-offs finishing 5th out of 8 teams. The girls were praised by coaches and officials for their sportsmanship throughout the tournament!   Full scores are available here: https://www.swimming.org/waterpolo/live-water-polo-u14-girls-inter-regional-championships-2024/
