Friday Funday Reminder!

Reminder: with the mixed weather and spring on the verge, stay clear of walking on/near waterways. The ice is thinning and the water beneath is moving quickly! 

Avoid accidents from happening, keep your kids and pets safe!

Prevention = Life

Water activities should be fun!  Like my Friday Funday workout - I love my Friday swim workouts!  A day after a full body strength workout the water feels like jello; every scull and kick is pronounced.  A strong 3 x 1000 m swim today just managed to squeek this quick one in today.

Tonight I looking forward to seeing you aquatic pros at the Lifesaving Society's AGM in Kitchener!

Today's 6am spin class was a race to the top, lots of climbs, and it felt great!  Also snuck in a deltoid workout, bring on the shoulder muscles!

Did you hear the interview with 101.7 The One today?

If you are interested in supporting SEALS Swim to Survive please let me know!  There are many ways people can help :)
A question I receive frequently is "why"; why are you doing this swim; why are you doing this distance...

My why is because I believe I can use my skills to be able to promote learning how to swim as a life skill for our communities.

My passion for swimming and abilities in the water give me the confidence to take on Lake Huron.  Lake Huron is where I grew up, whether it was on the beach in Goderich, Kincardine, Port Elgin or Sauble, I loved the water and am passionate about Ontario's West Coast.  My reason for becoming a lifeguard and swim instructor (at age 16) was so I could enable others to have as many fun experiences in an aquatic environment as I did growing up. Now, I have the ability to give back to my community in the best way I know how, which is sharing my knowledge of water safety so our families can learn how to safe guard themselves and prevent drownings from happening.  My swimming and lifeguarding skills have connected me with many communities across Ontario, I look forward with reconnecting with old ties to promote drowning awareness and to raise funds to be able to offer FREE Swim to Survive training to children.

What a way to start a week, a 6 km swim followed by a radio interview!  Motivation for the rest of the week... I think so!  Trying to upload the interview for you to hear.  Stay tuned!
