Breakout Clinic Gives Swimmers a Gold Medal Feeling
|
|
|
|
Olympian Misty Hyman gives GYST swimmers "High-Fives" after racing
at the Mutual of Omaha Breakout
Swim Clinic on May 15. View
|
It was an evening filled with excitement, learning & positive thinking at the Mutual of Omaha Breakout Swim Clinic held at the Geneva Lakes Family YMCA on May 15.
More than 70 competitive swimmers from southeast Wisconsin & northern Illinois gathered at the Y pool to learn from Olympic swimming legends Ian Crocker & Misty Hyman.
Swimmers enjoyed getting autographs, learning & practicing new drills, & racing against the gold medalists. There were even a few upsets (although, a quarter to half-pool head start was given). :)
But the most impressive part of the event was hearing how Misty & Ian prepared for & achieved their gold medals. The take-away message from those stories will certainly live in the hearts & minds of all clinic attendees for many years to come:
"It doesn't matter what other people think, or say, or do. If you believe in yourself and work hard in swimming and in life, you can accomplish great things, and you will be a champion."

Support the Healthy Air for Healthy Families Campaign
|
As
we announced in May, the YMCA has installed a new high-tech Ultra Violet Disinfection System in the activity/therapy pool of our Aquatic Center.
This new system has
dramatically improved our Aquatic Center's air quality. However, we still have work to do to complete this project. Our goal is to install UV in the lap pool by the end of the year. This requires a significant investment for the Y, & we need your support.
