Sarah Lungu, our LAP it UP Champion from the Macedon Ranges, comes from a family of swimmers and when she was younger,
her family would travel around Victoria, competing.
Sarah has enjoyed doing laps since she was tiny and in her late teens she became a swim instructor and lifeguard — she even taught swimming in Manchester in the UK and at summer camp in New York State!
“I still love swimming and being in the water”, Sarah says. “My favourite strokes are butterfly and breaststroke.”
She finds swimming really calming and a great form of exercise. “Swimming helps me with both my physical and mental health, and I find swimming in the ocean and river to be so beneficial for my wellbeing.”
Sarah joined up for LAP it UP because she is passionate about mental health and supporting Live4Life in rural and regional communities.This year she plans to swim with her whole family. Go Team Lungu!
Registering as a team for LAP it UP — with your friends, family and colleagues, even dogs! – is a great way to build camaraderie, raise funds and be cheerleaders
“I’m looking forward to beating my laps and fundraising efforts from last year.”
