Draft text of a statement which might be issued by the Grand Council Of The Presidium Of The Supreme SWSC, joyfully sharing the news of the appointment.

Pictures have emerged online of Chairman Irwin springing into vigorous action to determine new locations for incentivised outdoor activity by members.  Shown below, he toured what may have been the previously mentioned “fresh water” camps of North Cork-Korea.

He also took time to consider new indoor facilities for his beloved people / members. (Note: facilities shown are actually for the use of the Chairman only).

Finally, a picture shows the Chairman’s delight as his diligent and selfless toil to find ways to incentivise swimmers bears fruit.  These incentivisers are expected to increase speeds considerably when introduced to club sessions.

We await with boundless happiness developments from the reign of the Chairman, joyously supported by his Comrades – Francisco & Bernardo Lynch et al.  All Hail!!
