Meet Ken Krueger who is new to our Village and the Swim Club.
Ken was a National Champion and All-American at the University
of Southern California. He taught Nutrition, Exercise and Health for
20 years at the college level and has been a United States and Swiss
National Team Nutritionist. He has worked with Olympians, anorexic
to obese people, and homemakers.
Here is an excerpt from one of his articles: "…busy people…
complain that they have no time to exercise. Yet it has been proven
that, by taking one hour out of your day to exercise, the increase in
efficiency outweighs the lost time each day (because of a clearer mind
and stimulated body) – not counting that, one tends to get sick less
often and have lower blood pressure… [adding] more years to your
life. Little things mean a lot, simple things, like taking stairs rather
than the elevator or walking/biking to the store. [These] can start you
on the way to fitness. Then progress to leisurely half-hour walks or
swims before a meal…" Stay tuned for more to come.
Pool rule spotlight: "Children between the age of five and 14 years
may swim daily during general pool play hours…11 am to 2 pm year
round. " One of our OHCC residents makes a big production of their
grandchildren turning five by buying new swim suits and towels for
the child to celebrate their gaining access to the pool. This author once
forgot and ran afoul of the rule — just a heads up for the rest of you.
