LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White As some of our community swimmers know there has been organized senior age group swimming competition in the USA since at least 1970. There are three main senior swim programs and all have regional meets, state championships, and nationals. They are: Senior Games, US Masters Swimming, & YMCA (which is affiliated with Masters Swimming). The LA Swim Club participates in the Florida Senior Games which is affiliated with the National Senior Games. Florida has 21 regional senior games around the state and Lake Ashton swimmers have participated in meets at Polk Co, Lee Co, Gainesville and Sanford. We have also had swimmers qualify for the state championships (held each December) by placing in the top 5, in an age group event, at a regional meet. This year we also have a swimmer who will be swimming in the Senior Nationals in Pittsburgh in July. 30 Our LA Swim Club offers 3 organized workouts each week for both fitness swimmers and for those who wish to use the Senior Games meets as a way to motivate themselves to keep fit. To get involved just show up at the HFC pool on Mondays at 6 pm, Wednesdays at 1:45 pm, or Saturdays at 10 am, or contact coach Sandy at sandyw1994@aol.com. Participants must be able to swim 2 lengths of the indoor pool. TUESDAY PARTY BRIDGE By George Rogers We are having fun with new players and new winners every week.
