NRLW Cowboys Co-Captain Emma brought Lee in for post game celebrations last week!! Emma grew up at the pool with us and mum Miss Di. Learning, competing, then coaching juniors before she put the goggles down for good 💜 We are so proud of the things she’s gone on to achieve 💪 This is only the beginning still!
