2016 RIO Olympics – Katie Ledecky

WOW….Have you been watching the Rio Olympics?  The U.S.A. has won 33 medals in swimming!  16 Gold, 8 Silver and 9 Bronze!  Michael Phelps ends his career at age 31 with 23 Gold medals, 5 Gold and 1 Silver at these Olympics.  Katie Ledecky won 4 Gold and 1 Silver with her perfect stroke.  Nathan Ryan from WA State won 2 Golds and 2 Bronze.  With the Olympics and the hot weather, many of us are thinking we’d rather be swimming right now!  Since that’s not an option for most of us, try the next best thing – head to the Lopez Village Market, grab a cold drink and checkout the new FLIP bulletin board display showcasing the latest site plan and artist’s conception of the pool.  Take a moment to imagine what it will be like when our community crosses the finish line and a pool on Lopez becomes reality.
