LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Some LA Swim Club members come to improve the strokes and socialize, but do not wish to compete. Other members are aiming to compete in one or more of the 20 regional Senior Games in Florida, which offer 14 swim events and 10 age groups. The Senior Games focus on fun. It doesn't matter if you think you're too old or if you have a little or a lot of aquatic background. LASC current members range from late 50s to mid 80s and have a variety of backgrounds. Some used to be lap swimmers, some were lifeguards, a couple did synchronized swimming, a couple have done scuba diving, one taught swim lessons, one did triathlons, a couple swam on teams as a kid, but most have only a lap swim background and were looking for a way to exercise through swimming with a buddy or an organized practice. The next senior age group swim meet is early September in Gainesville, FL, so we there is plenty of time to get in shape and refresh, improve, or learn stroke, start, & turn techniques. There are three practices each week at the HFC. For more information or to get involved, contact volunteer coach (Mr.) Sandy White at sandyw1994@aol.com. You don't want to miss out on surprise Wacky Wednesdays! L AVA A U X I L I A R Y By Chris Graves There will be no June Meeting.

LA TRAVELERS By Carolyn Bishop The Lake Ashton Travelers kicked off Spring with an RV Rally down to the Florida Keys. Twenty coaches descended on Marathon Key and camped at Jolly Rogers RV Park for four nights. Fun times were had at a BBQ dinner, Potluck, dinner out at a great seafood restaurant, and an excursion to Theater By The Sea where everyone experienced a great bird show and the BEST Dolphin show ever! If you are a member of FMCA and would like to be a part of our Lake Ashton Chapter, please come join the group on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5 pm for the Happy Hour Social in the Clubhouse Ballroom. Happy Camping!
