Lise is a young, dynamic, and friendly retiree. Striving to achieve a better balance in her life, she took advantage of the opening of the Saint-Roch YMCA to become more active, particularly through swimming.
A very sociable person, Lise immediately found a second family at the Y, through both the spirit of camaraderie in our programs and the kindness of our employees. Motivated by the team of lifeguards, she quickly achieved her objective of swimming 60 laps and discovered the sense of pride and well-being that comes from surpassing your goals.
Today, Lise is happy to report that she is living the best years of her life thanks to this newfound healthier and more balanced lifestyle!
