LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Pictured are LA Swim Club members Cathy Liska and Sandy Papineau with Coach Sandy White at the Golden Age Games in Sanford. The women are part of the 4-year-old Lake Ashton Swim Club; and, as you can see by the hardware around their necks, they won 9 medals. The Golden Age Games are the oldest senior games in the country, and Lake Ashton has been represented there for the past 3 years. Cathy and Sandy P., along with a few other members, have also qualified for the Florida State Senior Games Championships, which will be held Dec. 2-3 in Temple Terrace. This will be the fourth year that we have had swimmers qualify for and swim at States. Some of the club members are gearing up for the Polk County and Lee County Senior Games which will be held the first weekend of March. Other club members, who are interested in fitness swimming, are doing well on their goals to swim 100 miles in the HFC pool (not all at once)! There are a couple members with injuries (not from swimming) and we wish them a speedy recovery. Whether you are interested in fitness, competition, or camaraderie, new members are always welcome! The only requirement is an ability to swim 2 lengths of the pool. LASC reserves the pool Mondays 6-7 pm, Wednesdays 1-2 pm, and Saturdays 10-11 am. Workouts are tailored to individual needs, and Coach Sandy is available to help improve stroke technique and offer other swimming tips.
