I also would like to nominate Nicoline Agersnap from Silkeborg, Denmark. She is the Chair of the Hasi Swimming Club, which caters to disabled children and adults, as well as their families and other members of the community. Core to their mission is that they are opened to any persons regardless of their abilities. During the covid pandemic, she’s especially put in a lot of work and effort to ensure that the members could keep swimming while also being safe.


My mum has volunteered at the club for many years, and when I was a child I’d go along and swim with the other children. Nicoline taught me how to swim back then as my coach, and over the years she’s taken on more responsibility and has done such a fantastic job. She’s done everything from coaching, editing the club magazine and now as the chair.
