It all began for Moira back in 1990 when she joined Dolphin Ladies, thinking that she’d enjoy a swim and that it would be a bit of fitness and fun.

Many congratulations to Debbie Sheridan who joined the Dolphin Ladies to improve her swimming and now joins the team of volunteer teachers, here’s her story….
