H2O Go!

Hey kids!  Are you a pretty good swimmer already?  Would you like some lap time to get in shape and get in the fast lane?  Sign-ups for H2O Go! have started at The Colony Aquatic Park.  The fall swim club is open for all children who are comfortable swimming the length of the 25 yard indoor heated pool on their stomach and on their back. 

Joyce (Jo) Curry leads the coaching staff and plans to focus on instructing stroke basics for beginners and technique efficiency to advanced swimmers. For most of her life, Jo has either trained in the pool or coached swimming – highly influenced by her mother Kathi Rayborn who served as head coach of Aqua Racers for 16 years.

From the age of four through her high school years, Jo competed with various recreational and USA swim clubs in California and Texas. During her collegiate years at SFASU, Jo lettered in volleyball with the Ladyjacks, but she never strayed too far from the pool. 

For six years, Jo instructed swimmers at Lifetime Fitness and coached the summer Aqua Racers. She has headed H2O Go! for the past two years. With a doctorate degree in nutrition and exercise physiology, Jo can explain how to restore that muscle glycogen for improved endurance in the pool. But she warns that you should be ready to take notes!
