CYNDY

Cyndy joined the Geneva Lakes Family YMCA in November, 2015, to fulfill her lifelong dream of learning to swim. When Cyndy joined in November she wasn’t able to swim a single lap. She knew her goal was going to be challenging; however, with her goal-oriented personality and competitive background, she was ready to tackle her dream.

“The Y was so welcoming and friendly when I joined! I couldn’t have been more pleased and excited to start my journey,” Cyndy said. Cyndy’s success blossomed from the inspiration she received from the YMCA staff. She is thankful for her early morning YMCA supporters: Diana Winger, YMCA Maintenance, Karrie Gibson, Business Manager, and Dorothy Robin, YMCA Swim Lesson Instructor. “Dorothy is a huge asset to the YMCA and taught me so much. I am now training in the pool 4-5 times per week for over 60 minutes each time. Karrie was so welcoming and supportive when I was new to the Y, and Diana has been my cheerleader giving me the motivation I needed to stick with it,” Cyndy said. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without their support. I am farther along than I could have ever imagined!”

As Cyndy looks to the future, her new goal is to join the Master’s Swim Team. We have no doubt that she will accomplish that goal! The Y staff looks forward to supporting her every lap of the way.
