The Third Annual Swim Meet of Life Long Learners is happening on April 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the basement of Building 8.
\nCasie Morris, Sinclair student, is directing this event for one of the classes that she is taking. She talks about the main goal of the class for this semester.

\n\u201cWe are from the Health Promotion and Sports Programming class, and [this event] is part of the class. It\u2019s a semester long project, and for us as a class it\u2019s about developing and learning how to develop programs,\u201d Morris said.
\nThe event was originally put on by the Life Long Learners, but then transitioned into a class project three years ago. According to Morris, a lot has to go into an event such as this.<\/p>\n
\u201cImplementation, marketing, finding the participants, staffing it, getting the equipment needs, and actually hosting the event,\u201d Morris said.
\nEven with all of this to handle, Morris said she felt like in the future this could be something that she would want to do and\/or be a part of.
\n\u201cI took it on because I\u2019m an honor student, I\u2019m in a leadership society, and I\u2019m trying to get scholarships. I always volunteer for everything first, and I, of course, shot my hand up the first day\u2014I didn\u2019t realize that it is a big ordeal,\u201d Morris said.
\nSince the project started, Morris has been leading the whole class and dealing out jobs, but she has been getting help along the way\u2014she isn\u2019t doing this alone. However, she said she feels that everything is going well.
\nMorris said this event is so important because of the diversity in students at Sinclair. She said not only the racial differences matter, but the age differences do as well.
\n\u201cAside from cultural diversity, we have students who are juniors in high school all the up to, I think, we have an eighty three year old maybe who\u2019s in that class. To bring that \u2018they still got it\u2019 kind of deal, and to let people know that we have lifelong learners here who aren\u2019t just here reading books and coming for the fun of it,\u201d Morris said.
\nWhen Morris spoke on just how much it means to the participants of the Life Long Learners class, it was obvious that this was the event that the Life Long Learners looked forward
\n\u201cIt also is a big time for the Life Long Learners. They like thinking this is the bee\u2019s knees. They really think this is a big event,\u201d Morris said. \u201cThey put a lot of time into practicing, they bring their families, there\u2019s an awards ceremony, and then they have a big carry in for food afterwards.\u201d
\nRegular Sinclair students are allowed to come to the event. Morris even jokes about more people coming to the Meet.
\n\u201cIt would be a big problem if 300 people came because we don\u2019t have enough room for all those people, but just bring a loud cheering voice and a good attitude,\u201d Morris said.<\/p>\n
