m ft weekender august 71993 pi 1 swimmers barge in on fitness every monday and thursday morning just before six am a car containing four blearyeyed males of varying ages and physical descriptions heads out of stouf- fville on its way to markham cen tennial centre after some light banter and a coffee or two the quartet walks limps and hippity hops into the recreation complex they slip into their bathing suits then hit the pool for an hour of one of the best forms ofjgcerrise available from where i live bruce stapley the foursome includes wayne reed the minister of the stouf- fville united church waynes teenaged son mike don jackson a local travel agent and my son shane with the exception of mike this collection of diversified humanity gives the impression of an army remnant after a long and arduous war an army that in some cases was allowed to eat rather high on the hog wayne is hampered by a bad knee which makes him an unlike ly candidate for a morning jog or a vigorous bike outing let alone a brisk game of tennis don was forced to part company with the bottom part of his right leg after breaking both legs and a collarbone in a fall from a hotel balcony while on a caribbean familiarization trip in 1988 for him jogging is strictly a spectator sport which he professes to enjoy as he watches the athletically inclined females of stouffville happening past his main st stouffville office with their ban dannas and colorful running gear as for shane his two lower legs and left wrist and hand still bear the permanent scars of a burn accident suffered while on duty at a gas station in 1989 but apart from the visual reminder of his ordeal shane is totally whole physically and along with mike is able to take to the faster lanes of the markham pool both wayne and don are the first to admit that an excess of poundage has added somewhat to their respective plights don ever the self deprecating humorist maintains he and his friend the rev have requested a new catego ry be added to the classification of the pools lanes as being for slow medium and fast swimmers wayne and i want a barge lane he told me the other day and were going to start charging admission to see nadu and dadu the baby killer whales but while don jokes about his girth and his artificial leg he insists he has stumbled across a winner with the swimming idea it was only after he began his gen tle water workouts that his right shoulder has started to function like it did before his accident his legs are operating more efficiently and he reports an improvement in his breathing and his entire car diovascular system as for his excess weight well he shrugs four out of fives not so bad what to do about the extra bulk he offers a practical answer which involves minimal exertion the logical solution would be to back away from the table sooner don has nothing but praise for the good people who operate the markham pool they are more than willing to assist him with his special needs which include bringing a chair to poolside so he can attach his artificial limb when he climbs out of the water he expressed surprise there are not more disabled people like him self taking advantage of the pool and its gentle form of muscle ton ing and overall body tuning he said he would be happy to share his lane but on one condi tion the law of the seas would have to apply barges pass on the
