Why Swim?
By Glen Bradburn, Swim Instructor
Swimming is a great way to exercise; one that I’ve enjoyed for thirty-five years. While swimming laps may slightly be monotonous, it’s a great low impact workout. Swimming can be a tool for rehabilitation to injury, a great cardio or stress reducing workout. Regardless of what kind of shape you're in, swimming has many benefits that suit just about everyone.

Overwhelming Success: 2008 Giving Tree
We would like to thank everyone who donated to our Child Haven Giving Tree last month. The amount of support we received from members this year was unbelievable and was more than we had anticipated. We started with 75 tags in hopes that we would be able to find a supporter for every tag. By the end of the first week, we had to pick up 20 more tags to fullfill the generosity all our members. And by the end of the second week we added 20 more tags! The overwhelming response we received from each and every person who took a tag was fantastic, and we are certain that your warm and kindness has made every child’s holiday a special one.
Thank you very much!
