Joy in the Journey 5-2-2018

   It is coming!  The annual Spring Fling hosted by the Water Lilies at the Fulda Swimming Pool.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 9TH     SWIM EXERCISE IS FROM 8-9 A.M.     BRUNCH AND DOOR PRIZES FOLLOWING SWIM TIME     NEW GUESTS SWIM FREE     

   This special morning is being planned to welcome and introduce you to water aerobics that happens three mornings every week, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.  Ladies from Fulda and many surrounding communities come together to enjoy low impact exercise in the water, plus laughter and much more!  There is no “membership”.  When you come, you are part of a fun and caring group.  Sessions are three dollars each time, and can be paid daily or with a punch card purchased at the pool.

   This group of ladies have more fun exercising and enjoying weekly time in warm water together than you can believe!  The friendship that is shared between them reaches far beyond the pool. The gals who come and share in this group can choose to be as involved in the outside activities as much as they desire.  There are no requirements or pressure put on anyone.  It is your choice!

   Every Monday after the swim time those who wish to meet for coffee and conversation, do so at Antonio’s.  The first Monday of the month this event is held at the pool with a brunch served by volunteers.

There are opportunities to join in several community events with the Water Lilies such as the Wood Duck Parade, the Table Cancer event, and area church salad lunches.  These women have also ventured outside of Fulda for some fun excursions to enjoy plays, concerts, museums, etc.

   The Water Lilies have become known around the Fulda community for giving their time and talents when needed.  Concerning our community pool, several gals have repainted inside the pool building, and also donated money towards life guard training and new pool blankets to cover the water to help preserve the heat.  Concessions for the Fulda Wood Duck Festival have used volunteers to fund a swim meet for children.

   When the Fulda Public School needed “crowd control” help with swim lessons, the 100th Day of School, and I Love to Read events, ladies from Water Lilies showed up to give a hand.  They can be found playing Bingo, Christmas caroling, and visiting residents at Maple Lawn Nursing Home.

   Friendship and encouragement is probably the best gift gotten from being part of this group!  These gals are supportive, funny, informative, helpful, and really show concern when someone is hurting or needing some help.  They are a team in the real sense of the word!

   If you have any questions about the water aerobics group in Fulda or the upcoming Spring Fling event, please call 425-2204.  Please consider coming to check it out!!  All you have to bring is your suit and a towel.  (And, NO, you don’t have to know how to swim or get your hair wet!!)
