Our current committee was elected at our Annual General Member Meeting in October 2025.

Caroline is passionate about the pool and swims there almost every day during the season. She’s the one with the large colourful bag of swimming aids, headphones, heads-up display goggles and bright Funkita swimming costumes!

Rebecca was one of the founding members of the Friends of Manuka Pool. Rebecca started swimming at the pool more than 15 years ago and can often be spotted wearing an old-school floral swimming cap. Rebecca only started swimming laps once she moved to Canberra, and has accepted she’ll always be a slow swimmer but has always loved being in the water. Manuka Pool is Rebecca’s favourite place in Canberra.

At the 2025 AGM, John McGinness stepped down and there were no nominees, hence, Caroline has taken on the extra role for the time being.

---

There has been no Secretary for the last financial year and at this year’s AGM, there was no nominee so Rebecca has taken on that role for the time being.

---

Sam is a new committee member and has taken on the role of Public Officer.

Mary is a long term Canberran and a keen lap swimmer at Manuka Pool (she has been swimming there for decades). This historic pool is her favourite place in Canberra. Mary is an enthusiastic and proud member of the Manuka Pool Lappers participating in the annual Laps for Life Challenge and the 24 hour fundraising swims held at the end of each season.
