A very special thank you to Bon Secours Hospital Tralee for their wonderful support of Tralee Little Dolphins and for sponsoring our recent family trip to Sandy Feet Farm.
Pictured are Shane Lee and Brian Casey, Co-Founders of Tralee Little Dolphins, meeting Owen McCarthy of Bon Secours Hospital Tralee to thank him personally for the hospital’s generous support.
Our trip to Sandy Feet Farm gave our Little Dolphins and their families the opportunity to spend time together outside the swimming pool, have fun, make memories and continue building the fantastic community that has grown around the club.
Support like this means so much to us. Tralee Little Dolphins is about far more than swimming. It’s about inclusion, friendship, confidence, family and belonging. Having local organisations such as Bon Secours Hospital Tralee believe in what we are trying to achieve helps us create experiences for our children and families that go beyond their weekly lessons.
A huge thank you to Owen and everyone at Bon Secours Hospital Tralee for supporting our Dolphins and helping make our Sandy Feet Farm trip such a memorable day.
We are extremely grateful to have you as part of our journey.

A very special moment for Tralee Little Dolphins as we had the opportunity to meet Minister Norma Foley and share the story behind our Little Dolphins community.
Pictured with Minister Foley are Brian Casey, Chairperson and Co-Founder of Tralee Little Dolphins, and Jodie Casey, Parent Relations Officer and, most importantly, Sophia’s mom.
Tralee Little Dolphins was inspired by our own family’s journey with Sophia and the determination to ensure that children with additional needs have access to swimming in an environment where they are understood, supported and included.
It was wonderful to speak with Minister Foley about the work being done by our coaches and families, the importance of inclusive opportunities for children with additional needs, and our hopes for the future of Tralee Little Dolphins.
For Brian and Jodie, this is deeply personal. What began with trying to find the right swimming opportunities for their own daughter has grown into a community dedicated to helping many more children experience the confidence, independence, friendship and joy that being in the water can bring.
A sincere thank you to Minister Foley for taking the time to meet with us, listen to our story and show her support for our Little Dolphins.
