LA Swim Club has several swimmers who have already qualified for the state meet and one who is going to the Nationals in Pittsburgh in July. On the first weekend i n Ma r c h , t wo m e m b e r s swam in the Lee Coun t y Senior Games and 3 others swam in the Polk County Senior Games i n Lake l and (see photos). All came home wi th one or more medals and seve r a l continued to improve their times or techniques. As we age, we have to work to preserve strength. Most of our swim club members do more fitness than just swimming. Some can be found in one of the fitness centers, on bikes, participating in other sports. All are serious about maintaining or improving fitness and health. See page 34 for more information on the LA Swim Club.
