Looking forward to having many new Friendly Bocce players. LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White All LASC members are doing a good job of working off holiday calories. Some swim 4 or more times a week, and some even swim as early as 5:30am. We are excited that some new swimmers are participating in the club's 100+ mile swim challenge. All are welcome to participate. Simply track your laps on the log in the hallway by the fitness area restrooms. Some swimmers, including the two pictured, are gearing up for the annual Polk Co. Senior Games swim meet, which will be March 2-3 at the Lakeland YMCA indoor pool. The deadline to enter the Games is quickly approaching - February 9. You can register by obtaining a registration book from Coach Sandy or calling the Senior Games office at 863-533-0055. Many thanks to resident Tom Knapp for repairing the digital wall clock! It is valuable to LASC members as well as the water exercise classes. LA PICKLEBALL CLUB By Mark McDuff The Lake Ashton Pickleball Association (LAPA) is comprised of residents who enjoy pickleball, from Beginners to Advanced. LAPA is a great way to connect with other players while making pickleball more fun. Here are a few things LAPA does: • Supply balls to all courts • Coordinate Training Clinics, Mixer Tournaments, and Social Events • Represent the members to the CDD • Purchase essential items that go beyond the CDD’s responsibility • Manage league teams that compete with neighboring communities • Post playing time schedules and other useful information on the bulletin board outside the courts Membership forms and a submission box are located at the Clubhouse or HFC Activities Offices.The cost is $12 for January through December. If you sign up after January the fee is prorated by $1 per month. For example, $9 if your membership starts in April. Join us for another year of pickleball fun!
