We fought the rain and people on vacation but it was a great experience. It ended with a rain-shortened shootout on July 29, followed by sandwiches and drinks at the HFC. Congratulations to Kevin Boral and Christy Negrin being crowned the winner of the league. We are looking into doing more of these kinds of events in the next few months so keep a lookout. On another note, our fundraising committee of Mark McDuff and Larry Fabian has been very busy. We had a dance and raffle in July and sold over 80 t-shirts. We are hoping to get some estimates soon for the cost to add two more pickleball courts. The cost to join the association is only $12 a year. If you would like to join, contact Lisa Savala at lisasavala513@gmail.com. LA Swim Club is back in the swim of things after a big break while the indoor pool had a facelift. Some swimmers took the opportunity to build strength in their swim muscles at the fitness centers, while others found other pools in which to practice. LA Swimmers are getting back in shape, and some, who were motivated by watching the Olympics, are aiming to participate as a team in some Senior Games Swim Meets. The meets are divided by gender and age groups, and medals are awarded for the first three places in each event. There is even a state championship and a national Championship. Our club has had swimmers at both. Our club has pool workouts three times a week at the indoor pool at the HFC, and coaching available twice a week. If you can swim two lengths of the pool and are interested in fitness, come try us out on Mondays at 1 pm, Wednesdays at 1 pm, and Saturdays at 10 am.
