Colleen Shields & Nicole Harrison
It is with great pleasure that we recognize Colleen Shields and Nicole Harrison as our most dedicated clients for the month of June 2006.
Colleen and Nicole came to IAL in May combining over 70 years of active living between them. As ultra-endurance swimmers, both Nicole and Colleen have had extremely successful careers in the water including completing what is perhaps the most challenging swim in the world - crossing Lake Ontario. Obviously these two are not strangers to hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. But what is most extraordinary is the shear time and energy these two have put into training each week over the last 3 months. Three to four times a week in the pool + two workouts a week at IAL + maintaining full time jobs + driving an hour each way from Georgetown (where Colleen lives). All this sacrifice for one more chance to cross the Lake. On August 11, 2006, Colleen, at age 54, will attempt to cross Lake Ontario one more time - with the help of Nicole. IAL wishes Colleen and Nicole the best of luck!
