NEW POOL NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parents,Swimmers,Alumni,Supporters, we need to make our voices heard about a new swimming facility in Beloit. Today again the Pool temp is 74 degrees, and air is about 65 degrees. I kept my lifeguard class out of the pool today. It might be ok for swim practice if you can keep moving. But to teach in this pool is very difficult. Call your school board, city council ect....

Beloit Deserves Better.

Please Read Excellent Article

Excerpt from: Secrets of the World Class,
by Steve Siebold

When average performers have had enough for the day and call it quits, champions are usually just getting started. Discipline is the watchword of great performers. Discipline makes the difference between the good and the great. The great ones will tell you discipline is more of a decision than it is an active skill. It's the ability to stay the course and complete promises you've made. The fulfillment of these promises builds confidence and self-esteem, which eventually leads champions to believe almost anything is possible. It's a habit and a self-fulfilling prophecy built into one. Discipline is a logic-based decision that performers adhere to, regardless of whether they feel like it or not.

Discipline pushes performers past pain and punishment. As my late business partner and mentor Bill Gove always said, "It's easier to get yourself into good thinking than it is to think yourself into good action." This is the mindset of the champion. The great ones, like Bill Gove, don't let feelings interfere with their performance. Instead, they harness the power of their emotional motivators to propel them past the competition. Average people see discipline as a painful chore to be avoided at all costs. The world class sees it as the ultimate power tool for performance.

Action Step for Today:

On a scale of 1 to 7, 7 being most disciplined, how disciplined are you in the different areas of your life?

SAVE THE POOLS

BELOIT SWIMMING FAMILIES, WE NEED TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD. WE NEED TO SAVE OUR POOLS. CALL YOUR REPS. LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT OUR POOLS IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE. They City of Beloit wants to close Krueger, and we need a new pool at BMHS. It is Time that the City and the School District actually get together and build a true Community Center. I want people to not just work or use Beloit but live in Beloit. Beloit is a great place to live and we need to have the services for new families to move Beloit, not live in Roscoe or Rockton and use Beloit.
