A YMCA Story

Emma

Emma has been coming to Swimnastics since 1989.  That is not too unusual except for the fact that Emma just turned 96 years old.  Emma loves coming to the YMCA.  It makes her feel good, gets her out of the house and gets her ready to shop at the mall.  She drives herself to the Y twice a week to workout with her friends.  She continues to do everything she has always done except laundry because her machine is in the basement.  Her son lives with her, but she still does the cooking, cleaning, and shopping.  She even takes her neighbor everywhere she needs to go.  Emma, who has a brand new great-great grandchild, does not think of herself as old.  If you ask her, she is just up in age!  Emma credits her active lifestyle to her active participation at the YMCA.
