She soon began making some of her fondest memories at that very same pool. “We moved into this neighborhood and I was intrigued by the swim club because we didn’t have one where I came from in New York.” Her family went to check out the club during a swim team practice, and Congdon was ready to jump right in. “That’s around the time that if you’re going to start swimming on an age-group team, that’s when you start,” she says. The Magic of SwimmingĬongdon’s early childhood was spent in New York, and at age 7 or 8, her family relocated to California, where she soon became a swimmer. She also loves to create art, and has released a joyful exploration of both muses with her book, “The Joy of Swimming: A Celebration of Our Love for Getting in the Water,” published by Chronicle Books in April 2016. Lisa Congdon, 48, of Portland, Ore., loves to swim.
