 Hart’s on FireMasters swimmer breaks eight world records Bellevue Club Masters swimmer and mother of three, Sheri Hart, recently traveled to Arizona for the Ron Johnson Memorial Invitational and came back toting eight world records. If you don’t know Sheri yet, it’s because she moved to Bellevue with her husband, Kevin, and children, Kennedy, Kaleigh and Kelsi, this past summer from Denver. An experienced swimmer, Sheri swam for the University of Southern California and has since practiced with several different masters programs but says the Bellevue Club is among her favorites. “It’s just a fantastic group of people and Karen (Dugan)’s coaching is great,” she says. At the Arizona meet, Sheri competed in the 35-39 age group and established new individual short course world records in the 100 backstroke, 50 backstroke, 50 fly and 100 individual medley. She also swam on a relay team from Colorado that broke four additional world records.

Besides Sheri’s four individual records, the team broke four short course relay world records.)  She says the training helped ease the transition for her after Kevin’s job with Clearwire brought them to the
Northwest.“My primary focus has been supporting the kids, but the hour a day in the pool is something to keep me focused and allows me to be a good role model for them,” she says. To get ready for the event, Sheri fine-tuned her technique with Karen and also added regular weight training into her routine with fellow Club swimmer Linda Stanchi. “The extra attention to my technique was so helpful,” she says. “The strength training is important, especially the older we get.” Alongside the fitness aspect, Sheri has found a welcoming community in the fun-loving Bellevue Club Masters group. “Swimming has been an easy way to integrate into the new community,” she says. “It’s been a blessing.”  SCHEDULESIndoor Pool Schedule (PDF) Swim Lesson Brochure (PDF) Adult Water Aerobics (PDF) For additional Fitness information, please visit the Classes & Events page. |
