Club Meetings
The OHCC Swim & Wellness Club typically meets 5 or 6 times/a year. Our meetings are set up to socialize, catch up on pool and other water activities, discuss safety and other issues, learn about wellness and nutrition from speakers and have fun. We try to schedule two special events per year.

Member Spotlight
Bob Clarke
Bob Clarke, club treasurer, is in the spotlight this month. Bob was born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He played sports in high school, but his mother encouraged music, and he played both piano and clarinet. Bob’s wife Carol was raised just a few blocks from the Clarke family and they married after Bob’s graduation from McMaster University in 1965. The couple immediately moved to England where Carol taught school and Bob worked for a chemical company. They returned to Ontario where Bob pursued a doctoral degree, followed by a postdoctoral in physics at the University of British Columbia. Subsequently, Bob worked for 2 aerospace companies, first in Toronto, and then Los Angeles. Bob and Carol have 3 kids and 4 grandchildren. One son and his family live in San Diego, the other son and daughter live in Toronto. Bob and Carol had an adventurous life together, particularly after retirement. They “retired” to China, where they taught English for 2 years. A big part of their retirement life was hiking and biking, which they did all over the world. Seven years ago, they moved to OHCC, where they quickly became daily swimmers. Sadly, Carol passed away about a year ago. Bob stays busy playing cello with the North Coast Symphony Orchestra (he is their treasurer, too!), and also is active in golf, tennis, billiards and choir. This summer, he’s looking forward to joining the Toronto grandkids Zoe and Noah along with their youth orchestra on a trip to Vienna.
Aqua fitness classes:
Classes are typically scheduled on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 9:00am. The cost per Aqua Fitness session is $5.00. Contact Leesa Singer at aqualeesa@gmail.com for more information.
