Pool guest spotlight!

Longtime Snohomish Aquatic Center guest Dan celebrated his 74th birthday with a swim that’s part of a tradition he’s proudly kept for over a decade.

Each year, Dan swims 100 yards for every year of his age—two full laps in our Competition Pool per year. This year, his goal was 7,400 yards for his 74th birthday, but he didn’t stop there—he powered through and completed an incredible 7,600 yards!

Dan is no stranger to the lap lanes, he’s a regular at our facility and credits the Snohomish Aquatic Center with helping him stay fit and active after recovering from a serious injury years ago. The water has become more than just a workout for Dan, it’s a vital part of his health, wellness, and daily routine.

From all of us at the Snohomish Aquatic Center, happy birthday, Dan! You continue to inspire us with every lap.
