Water Safety Instructor Peggy Young celebrates 15 year anniversary

Always a pleasure to highlight our staff’s workversaries! Truly a highlight this month to celebrate WSI instructor Peggy Young’s 15 years on board – and a delight to have Peggy’s sister, daughter & son join the celebration!

15 years – that begs the question, how many swimmers has Peggy supported with lessons?

Peggy shared the following: “Conservatively, I estimate I’ve taught about 750+ individuals over the last 15 years. That’s 50/year. It very well could have been more than that but we do have a lot of repeat participants so I was estimating how many individuals it would have been. That includes babies 6 months+ through to adults. My oldest student was 75 years old. It was very touching to find out that I taught one mom 10 years ago and now am teaching her 10 year old daughter! Just goes to prove that it’s never too late to learn to swim! 😊

Imagine the lasting impact within the community that Peggy has had – for all ages! Cheers to 15 years and thank you, Peggy, for being part of the team!
