NEWS & STORIES
ONE SUCCESS OF MANY
July 24, 2017
Our Stories are what make the YWCA so great. Everyday we strive to help families, empower women, eliminate racism and strengthen our community. Below are real stories of how the YWCA made a lasting, positive change in everyday lives.
“A friend of mine suggested I go swimming. I started swimming at the YWCA Pool the end of December. It definitely helped my surgical knee get stronger and I lost over 40 lbs. We knew that the other knee was bone on bone but, the doctor wanted to wait until the first knee healed completely. The knee held out for almost a year and some of that was largely due to the swimming. It strengthened the ligaments around the knee.
I started back swimming two weeks after the second knee surgery. The time I spent in the pool helped to get the knee bending. At six and a half weeks I had 130 percent motion in the knee and was able to start back to work in four weeks. The first knee without the swimming took up to a year to heal and I did not go back to work until 8 weeks had passed.
I would recommend to anyone that has knee surgery to use the YWCA pool as part of their rehab therapy.”
