Learn how Lucy and Lucas got started at Lakeshore. And where they are heading.
For Lucy Comer, her start at Lakeshore was in the pool, but it wasn’t the smoothest of entries. “When Lucy started coming to Lakeshore, she was terrified of the water,” said Lucy’s mom, Aimee Comer. Fast forward a few years and now, Lucy spends her weekends competing with friends and her Lakeshore Typhoon teammates at swim meets and is a 5-time Jr. National medalist.
Most importantly, “Lakeshore makes me feel happy. It’s my favorite part of the day,” she says.
Lucas Kalba’s start at Lakeshore wasn’t alone. He and his family participated in family night activities and Camp Strive, an outdoor recreation family summer camp. Now a huge USA Wheelchair Rugby fan, Lucas is interested in Lakeshore sports and looking to join the swim or wheelchair basketball team.
“Lakeshore makes me feel confident in myself, it makes me feel happy and welcomed. All positive vibes when I come to Lakeshore,” he says.
