LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Attention, residents who like to swim for fitness & health but don't feel safe doing it alone. The LA Swim Club solves that safety i ssue by offering three workout times each week (Mondays at 6 pm, Wednesdays at 1:45 pm, and Saturdays at 10 am). Swimmers either follow a club-provided written workout or do their own thing. For those who wish to improve stroke efficiency or learn new sk i l l s , the c l ub' s vol unteer i ns t ruc tor / coach provides tips. Many club members enjoy the camaraderie and swim simply for fitness. For those who like (or need) motivation, the club has a swim-for-distance challenge chart and we encourage members to participate in regional Senior Games Swimming competition. The competition is divided by gender and age (5-year groupings from 50 to 100+). Speaking of which, we have four members who will compete in the 21st Annual Gainesville Senior Games swim meet on September 11. 36
