I love this for at least FOUR reasons. First, [once again], Sports as a Crucible for Life. ↳ Bryan Kryder’s story is another example of how sport ties back into work and life. Growth comes from being outside of your comfort zone. Kudos to Bryan for being brave and having a growth mindset. Let’s check out what Bryan said: ↳  “the older we get, we tend to fall into patterns of just playing it safe and doing the things that we know” ↳  “trying something new” ↳  “a new challenge” ↳  “test myself” ↳  “[overcoming] fear” ↳  “learning and taking instruction” ↳  “confidence” ↳  “progress” ↳  “life skill” ↳  “fitness” ↳  “taking a first step” ↳  “opening up your world” ↳  “limitless” Powerful stuff! Second, Connections and Relationship. ↳ Bryan’s story is moving to me, because its powerful, but also because I feel connected to it. It was reposted by my friend and former teammate Chris Plumb. Chris is the CEO and Head Coach at Carmel Swim Club. Carmel Swim Academy -- which offers “learn to swim” programs like the one Bryan is involved in – sits under Carmel Swim Club. Carmel Swim Academy is another amazing thing that my friend and former teammate is doing with his organizations in the sport of swimming and for the State of Indiana. Thank You and Keep Going! Third, Community. ↳ Chris and his team at the Carmel Swim Academy are doing their part to help their community by providing critical “learn to swim” programming.  As Bryan said, this is a life skill. Four, Enriching Content. ↳ I can’t wait to follow the SWIM feature, presented by INNOVATIVE and the Indiana Sports Corp. This is exactly the type of content that brings me back to LinkedIn. Refreshing. Motivating. Inspiring.

At first glance, swimming may seem like a simple recreational activity or sport, but for individuals with Down syndrome, there is more to it than that. The joys and challenges of swimming on a team also shows the importance of integration and inclusion in sporting activities. It is still not commonplace to see our friends participate in team sports like swimming and in having integrated teams with all abilities. This is why we celebrate some of our friends who are a part of the 2023 Franklin HS Swim and Dive Team. Read more on the importance of swimming for people with Down syndrome in this in-depth blog. https://lnkd.in/eC5e9Hzv Swim hard friends!

The big venue. One that we love is Ponds Forge in Sheffield. Ponds Forge plays host to national swimming competitions every year. Many GB winning athletes have swam here and it continues to play an important role in the pathway to swimming as a sport. Many parents have sat anxiously in the tiered seating waiting to see if the 5am swim get ups are worth it. But even for big venues like Ponds Forge, it's important to look for opportunities to grow and ensure customer experience exceeds expectations. #venueconsultant #venuemanagement #businessgrowth

Adult swim leagues can be intimidating. Grown-Up Swimming aims to be the opposite of intimidating. If you're a beginner swimmer (beyond floaties at the least) or if you're an ex-D1 swimmer, Grown-Up Swimming is a league where both types of swimmers can thrive--and have some fun to boot. Swim meets and BBQs. What could be better? Read more about this self-described goofy adult swim league in our latest blog post!
