U.S. Masters Swimming June Krauser Communications Award

Recipient:	Caitlin Gagnon
Year:	2024
LMSC:	Ohio

Caitlin communicated through emails and created video postings for Instagram and Facebook that targeted swimmers of all levels. The videos contained instruction and information and were full of humor and creativity. She posted intriguing videos with members doing skits, simulating mermaids, teaching ALTS, swimming in jeans, doing different dives, and dancing under the water. The posts were designed to motivate all ages of Masters swimmers, and intended to interest and motivate people to join a team and sign up for her LMSC’s swim meet. She actively updated the posts and she kept adults excited to engage in U.S. Masters Swimming. Caitlin was also involved in starting a ‘Grown Up Swimming League’ in Cincinnati.
