Swim Club acknowledges dedicated volunteer

It is with appreciation and gratitude that we thank Jenni Roberst for her long service and dedication to the swimming club and our swimming community for many years, with her recent resignation from the Club. Jenni has been involved in the swim club since  her and her family moved to Featherston in 1996 and over the years has been a valued committee member, timekeeper, relay organiseer, president, treasurer and secretary of the club at various times.

Jenni has been involved in big projects for the club over the years such as the seating stand rebuiold and the deisgn of the concrete wall in the main pool (to meet FINA standards of a 25-metre length pool). This subsequently created a second learners pool at the end of the main pool which as been so beneficial. The club fundraised $14,000 for seven new startinig blocks over a year to mark the 100-year centenary of the club in 2012, the year Jenni also received the Swim Wairarapa Service Award for her contribution to the swimming community.

Jenni's contribution and work for the club and our community over the years has ensured that the availability of swim lessons to all in our area remains strong. She has been dedicated to the swimming needs of our town well after her children have grown up and left home. We thank her so much for her unwavering support over the last 23 years and wish her all the best for her upcoming projects. Thank you, Jenni.
