LCM Athlete Spotlight
Samantha Su, started with the Lifesaving Club of Markham (LCM) when she was just 10 years old and since then has evolved into an experienced Lifesaving Sport athlete.
Led by the City of Markham’s Sport Development team, LCM – a club-based program – follows the principles of the Lifesaving Society and focuses on keeping youth active in the community, building a sense of belonging and learning lifesaving skills. This is why Su has been a long-standing member of LCM. What she loves most about the sport is it offers more than just swimming skills including prevention of drowning and water-related injury and so much more. According to Su, these skills come in handy when she is on duty as a lifeguard.
Su is a well-rounded athlete who insists on staying constantly busy. While the COVID-19 quarantine may have slowed down all of us, Su kept busy catching up on reading and learning to play the guitar. She also managed to do some fitness classes via Zoom as well as training on the beach, paddle boarding and running. When things return to the new normal, she hopes to be back playing rep softball and practicing with her band mates, when she’s not training with LCM. Keeping busy is Su’s motto!
In the fall, she is heading to Western University but plans on staying connected to LCM as much as possible. She’ll be spending time in residence at Western but also plans on rejoining her LCM teammates each time she comes back to Markham.
