We officially welcome our new indoor tennis manager, Suzanna Swalboski. You have probably seen her on the indoor and outdoor courts, as well as on the racquetball courts and in the gymnasiums, pool, and weight rooms.

Since 1998, she has been coaching, running camps and classes, directing tournaments, substituting for players in our doubles leagues, registering students, and staffing the tennis bubble. She is passionate about tennis.

A few things you may not know about her: She grew up in Southern California and Virginia Beach, in great tennis towns.

She comes from a “tennis family.” Her father, who tried to teach her his “American twist serve,” played tennis against both Elizabeth Taylor and Ken Rosewall, but not at the same time.

Suzanna has been playing tennis for 43 years, and coaching tennis for 33. She was very fortunate to have as her own first coaches and mentors the tennis greats, Dave Howell and Dennis Van der Meer.

Gary Coutry and Bob Hilferty, former community center employees have had a great influence on both her teaching and her management style.

Suzanna has coached students with physical and sensory disabilities. She believes in providing quality sports access to everyone, regardless of physical or mental challenges. Suzanna looks forward to a season full of great tennis for all!

SPECIAL INTEREST Seven Ways to Stay Active at Herndon Parks and Recreation Department For many of us, the fall season means busy school and activity schedules and new adventures. With the change in the Monday elementary schedule, it becomes even more challenging for families to carve out time for recreation, exercise, dedicated family time, and practice time for skills like soccer, guitar and dance. And yet, we all know it is extremely important to do so, for children and adults. The National Institute for Play affirms that, “Play is the gateway to vitality. By its nature it is uniquely and intrinsically rewarding. It generates optimism, seeks out novelty, makes perseverance fun, leads to mastery, gives the immune system a bounce, fosters empathy and promotes a sense of belonging and community.” The Herndon Parks and Recreation Department is primed and ready to offer many ways for your family members to get moving and play this fall.

marriage. Instead of looking at play as a waste of precious time, consider it a great investment in your wellbeing.”

Studies show that recreation, play and exercise can lead to lower stress levels, more selfconfidence, increased energy, fewer injuries, slowing of the aging process, and reduced risk of illness and obesity. Choosing to make a commitment to an active lifestyle as a family can also provide opportunity for strengthening the bonds within your family unit.

• Make a family dinner together one night a week – healthy eating is super important as well. Try a parent-child or kids’ cooking class on page 30.

• Train as a family for a race or triathlon.

Check out our Turkey Trot 5K on page 26.

• Pick a new activity to try together.

Consider wallyball, tennis, geocaching, or yoga.

• Set a family fitness goal. Try for 30 minutes of exercise every day or 5 hours of exercise per week and chart your accomplishments.

Set new, higher goals as you progress.

• Organize a family backyard Olympics in a local park. Invent fun events to compete in and let the kids help. Invite the neighbors to join because every house in the Town of Herndon is 1/4 mile from a park.

• Find a new class at the Herndon Community Center to try or a new park to explore. Turn the pages to discover lots of great offerings right here in this brochure!

There are many ways to get active on your own and with your family. One important key is to find something you all enjoy. If you choose an activity that you just don’t like, your commitment may waiver before any benefit is gained.
