🟡🟣⚫️Garstang Gators Medal Gala⚫️🟣🟡

A huge well done to all our amazing swimmers who competed at the Garstang Gators Medal Gala on Saturday!

It was fantastic to see so many of our swimmers racing with many taking part in one of their first galas! The day was full of fun, team spirit and plenty of smiles. From land training in the hall, lots of song requests for Tony and the clubs joining together for a brilliant conga around the hall! It was great to see everyone having so much fun both in and out of the pool.

A big thank you to our fantastic volunteers who helped throughout the day. Thank you also to our wonderful coaches Adam, Chris and Kate for all the encouragement, guidance and brilliant support you gave our swimmers poolside (they were too busy coaching to make the photo! 😂).

What a way to finish the day with the relay! A huge well done to Roman, Ellie, Noah P and Noah Mc for a fantastic team sprint and to our brilliant teammates who stayed right until the end to cheer them on!

Thank you Garstang Gators ASC for hosting such a great gala. We had a fantastic time! 🦦

Well done everyone, we are so proud of you all! 🦦

Tonight we said farewell to George Fox. The last of the Foxes boys at Otters. It's been a pleasure coaching you and your brothers. Good luck to you in your future. If you change your mind you know where we are. Masters swimming will be there.

Have you ever felt like you were pouring your entire heart, energy, and soul into a role, yet still falling short? The truth might not be your effort, but your environment. In the wrong place, even if you give your very best, it will never be enough. But in the right place, your mere presence will be celebrated.

It is exhausting to constantly fight for validation in a culture that is blind to your worth. When you are surrounded by micromanagement, indifference, or toxic comparison, your unique gifts begin to feel like burdens.

But when you find yourself in an environment built on empathy, trust, and deep psychological safety, everything changes. The right team doesn't ask you to diminish who you are to fit in; they value you precisely for what you bring to the table. They don't just measure your output—they cherish your heart, your perspective, and your character.

Never settle for places that make you feel small. Seek out the cultures, the leaders, and the communities that recognize your brilliance and give you the room to truly soar.

Ready to build a workplace where every team member feels celebrated and empowered to win?

Transform your organization into the "right place" where talent thrives and good energy rules. Order copies of my book, The Blueprint of Leadership, on Amazon for your entire team today, and start creating a culture of belonging.

🟡🟣⚫️ Microleague - Round 2 ⚫️🟣🟡

It’s been a busy weekend of swimming for Otters!

On Sunday, our younger swimmers competed in the Microleague Round 2 at Knowsley Leisure Park and what a fantastic day it was! Both our A Team and B Team finished 4th in their leagues with some amazing swims and so much determination from all our younger swimmers. It was lovely to see everyone supporting each other and giving their all throughout the day.

A huge thank you to all the coaches and volunteers who supported on the day, and to all the parents for cheering so loudly!

We can’t wait to see everyone back racing again on Saturday 27th June!

Go Otters! 🦦
