Swim Fit Class
Has Good Clean Fun
Story By rica LewiS

She's not just treading water.
Trice Hirr is teaching technique, giving Villages
swimmers a better way to stroke and a phenomenal
water workout.
Ed Kozlowski, of the Village of Sanibel, has
been taking Hirr's Swim Fit class at Colony Cottage
Recreation Center for some time, since nearly the
beginning, he said.
"I started out doing a half-mile and swallowing half
the pool in the process," he joked. "But I stuck with it
and have come a long way. Being out here is almost a
religious experience. I look forward to it."
Relaxation, a good workout and the opportunity to
leave his mind elsewhere - that's what the class offers
Kozlowski. And he's just one of the many committed
members making a splash twice per week.
Kozlowski said the class has grown, and those who
attend are like family. The group hosts a range of skill
levels, with each member starting out with a warm-up
and moving on to complete a series of intervals.

"Trice shows you how much you don't know about
swimming," Kozlowski said.
A former runner, he prefers his water workouts
because they are easier on the joints. He's currently
working to achieve a better form and greater speed
through Hirr's instruction.
