“I started going to the Upper Valley Aquatic Center to work out in the summer per my doctors suggestion as walking was causing pain in my knees due to an injury. I was hesitant as I didn’t feel I fit the mold of someone who is fit and athletic. The moment I walked through the doors, I was warmly welcomed and immediately felt at ease. It was clear to me that the staff cared about all their members, regardless of athleticism. When I found out that I could be part of this amazing team by volunteering, I completed the application process. Now I am able to help others as I continue to work on my goals.”
