A Note from Coach John

Keeping an Attitude of Gratitude

By the time you read this, Thanksgiving in the time of COVID-19 will have passed. In the midst of the hardship, we paused for a moment on Thursday to give thanks and reflect on the parts of our lives that bring us joy.

I am thankful for my family, especially my brave, resilient, and kind children who continue to teach me lessons in unconditional love. I'm grateful to all of you for befriending me, trusting me, and most importantly, for supporting Asphalt Green and AGUA Masters. Lastly, like many of you, I'm grateful for swimming, which has enriched my life with community, health, and a job I adore.

Embracing an attitude of gratitude is no easy task in the midst of a pandemic. I invite you to join me and try. Thank you, AGUA Masters.

As always, my door is open for any questions or concerns. Please feel free to email me at jbeck@asphaltgreen.org.

See you in the pool,

–Coach John
