LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White This is an Olympic year and LA Swim Club members are excited to watch the upcoming Tokyo Games in July. Members are also excited about our state Senior Games swim meet in September in Gainesville, FL. Senior Games swimming offers 14 different events and 10 age groups starting at age 50. The events range from 50 yards (two lengths of a 25-yard pool like the HFC), to 500 yards (20 lengths). The shorter races are for those who like to swim fast, while the longer races are for those who like endurance-type activities. All residents are invited to join the LA Swim Club in order to receive e-mails about the benefits of swimming and other swim-related information. All are welcome to participate in one or more of the club's three practices each week (Mondays at 6 pm, Wednesdays at 1:45 pm, and Saturdays at 10 am), even if you are not interested in competing. FYI - practices are fun and relays are incorporated, along with an occasional "Wacky Wednesday” when swimmers wear wacky clothes to the pool and do wacky things in the water. (Shh, don't tell, but all seem to work harder on Wacky Wednesdays!) LASC thanks the HFC staff for the new hooks and shelf, as well as the new aquatic decorations.
