Thanksgiving Charity Event

On Sunday, November 23, the 2025 Thanksgiving Charity Swim delivered another outstanding afternoon of swimming, generosity, and community. Hosted by Performance Ready in partnership with Genesis Aquatics, the event once again brought swimmers together to support the ICA Food Shelf while taking on a classic endurance challenge.​
Highlights from the 2025 event:
  • 90 swimmers took part, matching last year’s record turnout and filling the pool with energy from start to finish.
  • ​Swimmers completed 618,125 total yards, which equals 351.21 miles of swimming. That is a lot of laps and a lot of pie-earned calories.
  • Donations totaled $2,700 plus 64 pounds of food for the ICA Food Shelf, making a meaningful impact for our local community heading into the holidays.
  • ​The post-swim social at Sally’s was the best-attended yet, proving that swimmers clean up well once the caps and goggles come off.
  • ​A huge thank-you to Linda, the University of Minnesota Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center, and Genesis Aquatics who made the event possible. 
Most importantly, thank you to every swimmer and donor who showed up, supported one another, and helped turn laps into meals. We are already looking forward to doing it all again next year.
Mark your calendars for next year! The tentative date for the 2026 Thanksgiving Charity Swim is Sunday, November 22.

Thank you to all who participated and contributed!

Performance Warriors

2026 Performance Warriors
Performance Warriors is an annual community event where we come together to move with purpose while supporting the Davis Phinney Foundation, whose mission is to help people with Parkinson’s live well today.
Parkinson’s disease affects nearly 1 million people in the United States, impacting movement, balance, and daily life. Research continues to show that exercise and movement are powerful tools for maintaining mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Performance Warriors was created because Parkinson’s affects people close to our community. The event has become a way for us to come together, raise awareness, and support an organization making a meaningful difference.
This year the event includes two community workouts.
Making Waves – Swim Workout​

Wisconsin Mini-Camp

Due to cool temps, rain, and wind in the forecast, the 2025 mini camp was kept local in Minnesota. While the event was smaller, the change of plans created a more intimate and focused setting. First-time IRONMAN and 70.3 athletes had the opportunity to ask questions, and less experienced athletes were able to easily connect with those who have been through it before. A valuable and encouraging opportunity for all!​

2024 Fall Reset Challenge

RESET Bingo
The RESET Bingo Challenge was a 12-week journey from October 7-December 29, 2024 that encouraged participants to prioritize recovery, try new activities, and stay active while pushing themselves out of their comfort zones. 
Highlights of this engaging and impactful challenge:
  • Participation: Dozens of participants worked on their Bingo cards, focusing on recovery, strength, cardio, and more.
  • Biggest Challenges:
    • 8 nights with 8 hours of sleep was the most difficult for many.
    • Spending 5 hours outdoors weekly was another square that pushed participants.
  • Lasting Changes:
    • Many participants shared that incorporating weekly strength training is a habit they plan to continue into 2025.
  • Prize Winners:
    • $50 Gift Card to Elsmore: Alison (completed the entire card!)
    • $25 Gift Card to Munkabeans: Luke and Stephanie.
Thank you to everyone who participated and embraced the challenge. Your dedication inspires us, and we’re excited to bring you more opportunities to grow and stay motivated in the future!
Stay tuned for upcoming challenges and events! 🎉

Functional Dryland for Swim and Dive Teams​

Most dryland programs designed for swimmers and divers typically based on the personal experience of coaches during their own athletic careers or on generalized strength training methods employed in other sports.  After 2 years of working with the Girls' Swimming and Diving teams at Orono High School and Wayzata High School, utilizing a program catered to the needs of swimmers and divers, we are now offering a program for all teams.
  • Developed in collaboration with Chris Meyer, a Sports Physical Therapist 
  • Specialized approach that caters to the needs of swimmers and divers
  • Goal is to optimize movement and improve overall strength
  • 14-week periodized program that includes 3 workouts per week
  • Recommended for high school and club teams​​
What components should a swimming dryland program include?  Check out this article that we wrote for Minnesota Swim and Vibe: Components of a Swimming Dryland Program
