Go for the Gold! | More than a gym Worcester's premier health ...

Posted by Aquagirl

Every week, I entertain a new group of prospective swimmers that hail from Worcester?s most eclectic neighborhoods. Each new crew operates under a theme meant to inspire both fitness and togetherness. This week?s mantra is ?Go for the Gold!?

It seems a fitting tagline in lieu of London?s spastic Olympic roll out. I?ve been following the swimming events closely, particularly those of Rhode Island?s Elizabeth Beisel. Finally, I can justify the many meets when Ms. Beisel (five years my junior) gave me a run for my money in the Zesiger Aquatics Center. I recall that little doe-eyed pipsqueak waiting beside me at the blocks, like an aquatic Doogie Howser on a mission.

As my swimmers embark on their journey to ?Go for the Gold!? I remind myself to do the same. There?s a little part of all of us that believes we can be excellent (in swimming and in anything else we set our minds to) no matter the odds. A motivational baby Beisel lives within.

p.s. I?m a little behind with my book club commitment, but Amazing Amy just revealed herself as totally cray-cray, and I just got totally hooked on?Gone Girl.
