SAGE Swimmers Medal at Maryland Senior Olympics: Fulfilling Dreams, Conquering Fears, One Stroke at a Time Gloria Clarke just learned how to swim this February 2017 in a SAGE class taught by Susan Shell, Brenda Jenkins, and Marsha Jones-Byron at Allentown Road Aquatic Center. So, she would L to R: Veronica Boggs, Gloria Clarke, Pamela Gulley, Diane Hunter NOT have predicted that she would be swimming competitively in the Maryland Senior Olympics (MSO), held on September 16, 2017… let alone, winning a bronze medal in both the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle! “We are all really proud of our seniors and their accomplishments,” said instructor Susan Shell. “It is such a pleasure to work with this outstanding group. I watched them persevere through difficult training, by practicing really hard, empowering each other, and encouraging one another.” Gloria, along with her friends and teammates, Pamela Gulley, Diane Hunter, and Veronica Boggs, brought home a total of nine medals and one ribbon from the MSO. It was Pamela, after volunteering as a class assistant and helping teach her colleagues to swim, who suggested that they try competing in the Senior Olympics and experience the excitement. And Pamela set a good example! She brought home the gold in 100-yard backstroke, silver in 50-yard front crawl, and bronze in the 50-yard breaststroke. Diane Hunter stated, “I learned how to swim as part of the SAGE Therapeutic Aquatic classes three years ago… While learning and practicing our swimming skills, the four of us bonded, supported, and encouraged one another to overcome our fears, try our very best to improve, and get better each and every session.” It worked! Diane won bronze medals in the 50-yard freestyle, the 50-yard backstroke, and the 100-yard backstroke. Veronica Boggs’ first class in SAGE was Therapeutic Aquatic Exercise in 2014 at the recommendation of her orthopedic surgeon in preparation for a knee replacement. “I hadn’t given any thought to entering the Mary- land Senior Olympics until I was made aware of this opportunity by Pamela Gulley. Even after registering for the competition I kept asking myself, why? Pamela’s infectious enthusiasm, constant coaching tips, and endless words of encouragement played a major role in my decision.” And it paid off! Veronica won a gold medal in the 50-yard backstroke and a fourth place ribbon in the 50-yard freestyle. What a difference a SAGE class—mixed with equal parts motivation, endurance, competitive spirit, and camaraderie—makes!!! Gloria, a type 2 diabetic, has lost weight and now has her A1C level down. Diane shares, “The classes that I am taking from SAGE are wonderful because these classes have helped me to fulfill two lifelong dreams: learning how to swim and learning how to play the piano. These accomplishments have truly added joy, fun, and a sense of fulfillment and pride to my retirement.” Veronica says, “I have benefited tremendously from the SAGE Program because I have a lot of fun. I have met many people who share a common goal of trying to live a healthier lifestyle.” These strong, energetic, determined, and motivated women range in age from the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies, fueling the adage, “It’s never too late to learn.” They are an inspiration to us all. Let us know if SAGE has made a difference in your life and we may be able to share your story in a future class schedule. Mark Your Registration for Therapeutic Aquatics* and Health and Fitness* classes Calendar ! began on November 20, 2017.

Students must choose the classes they want to attend and make sure there are no conflicts of time/day/date on the schedules. This may mean registering for a different section of a desired class. Teachers are instructed not to allow students to attend classes for which they are not officially registered. Please be careful to register for all classes—but be mindful of others. The SAGE Program is a great value, but please only register for classes that you plan to attend. Age Restriction Although the SAGE Program permits students under 60 years old to pay tuition and participate in some classes, many senior class sites have an age restriction. Therefore, anyone under the age of 60 wanting to enroll in a SAGE class must first get permission from the class site manager to make sure he or she meets the age participation requirements. Some site limitations are listed in the Site Directory on pages 6–7.
