Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning morning, Welcome walk Frome, welcome Meeting's
0:05
Speaker 1: time now for car talk, bright sunshiny Thursday, and you
0:09
Speaker 1: know what that means. It's time to buy a car.
0:11
Speaker 2: Hey doing, Brad, I've been very well Tom.
0:15
Speaker 3: Good morning to everyone out there listening to us again
0:17
Speaker 3: on this beautiful Thursday morning in Bartlesville. I can see
0:21
Speaker 3: the kind of the skyline of Bartlesville in the distance
0:24
Speaker 3: and from the studio here and I've got my friend
0:27
Speaker 3: Chad Inglehart from the Splash Phillip sixty six Splash Club
0:31
Speaker 3: here in Bartlesville.
0:32
Speaker 4: Welcome, good morning, Brad morning, thanks for having me in.
0:35
Speaker 5: Anxious to have a little conversation about the swim team
0:38
Speaker 5: and how we impact the community.
0:40
Speaker 4: So we're excited about this opportunity.
0:42
Speaker 3: We're really excited to have you here and to learn
0:46
Speaker 3: more about the Splash Club.
0:48
Speaker 2: I've been kind of around it a long time.
0:52
Speaker 3: And you guys started a long time ago in Bartlesville,
0:55
Speaker 3: just like my family business did, and like those kinds
1:00
Speaker 3: of things, and you guys work really hard to develop
1:03
Speaker 3: people and create those kinds of disciplines. I guess it
1:08
Speaker 3: takes to kind of put together some kind of a
1:15
Speaker 3: passion for life.
1:16
Speaker 5: I think the passion comes from inside them, but we
1:19
Speaker 5: definitely try and develop I guess what would call good citizens.
1:24
Speaker 5: Our vision is challenging tomorrow's leaders and building lifelong champions.
1:28
Speaker 5: And I think I hope that I am judged fairly
1:32
Speaker 5: and positively when they get to be thirty and forty
1:34
Speaker 5: years old. What did they learn and what were those
1:38
Speaker 5: foundational skills that we help them develop that have carried
1:42
Speaker 5: them on through life? And do they go out and
1:45
Speaker 5: be leaders in their community and be leaders in their
1:47
Speaker 5: homes and do things that benefit the people around them.
1:51
Speaker 3: That's awesome. That's a common theme here on the show.
1:54
Speaker 3: We definitely appreciate that. We call it sparks at the dealership,
1:59
Speaker 3: and that's a thing that employees came up with.
2:02
Speaker 2: A picture of my grandfather.
2:04
Speaker 3: So really the very beginning, he was on a basketball
2:08
Speaker 3: team sponsored by a Ford dealer in Tonquah, Oklahoma, in
2:12
Speaker 3: nineteen twenty four, and there's a picture of him there
2:15
Speaker 3: with two of his brothers on that team, and my
2:19
Speaker 3: great grandmother wrote the scores of every basketball game on
2:22
Speaker 3: the back of the picture. And a few years later
2:26
Speaker 3: he and his one of the brothers in the picture
2:30
Speaker 3: came graduate from college and came back and got the
2:32
Speaker 3: opportunity to buy the dealership there in nineteen twenty nine.
2:37
Speaker 3: Kind of a challenging time economically, but that's when we
2:41
Speaker 3: got into the car business. And it was really about
2:44
Speaker 3: that sports team thing where you learn to work together
2:50
Speaker 3: on something. And swimming is kind of an individual sport,
2:54
Speaker 3: but it's a team sport too, and that discipline of
2:57
Speaker 3: working towards your goals and competition. There is a theme
3:01
Speaker 3: that goes through our life. I think I agree with.
3:04
Speaker 5: You, and I think when you get on the blocks,
3:06
Speaker 5: you're by yourself. But I think if it's done right,
3:09
Speaker 5: every day you have a family and you get on
3:11
Speaker 5: those blocks, that family goes with you and you feel
3:14
Speaker 5: their support and you feel their love and desire for
3:17
Speaker 5: you to be successful well.
3:18
Speaker 3: And and the work too, kind of the layers of
3:22
Speaker 3: of of things so that you know, because you get
3:25
Speaker 3: better once, you know at swimming, when you start to
3:29
Speaker 3: get more comfortable with it, learn the different strokes, get
3:33
Speaker 3: more fit, you know, you get you start to grow.
3:35
Speaker 3: I mean because you start with sometimes young children, we do,
3:39
Speaker 3: and their bodies are changing, they're they're learning a lot
3:44
Speaker 3: of things. Then they start to grow and get stronger,
3:46
Speaker 3: and sometimes they can be quite good at it, but
3:49
Speaker 3: sometimes that's not really what it's about, is it.
3:52
Speaker 5: Well, everybody loves to win, and everybody loves to get better.
3:56
Speaker 5: But I think we start them as early as three
3:58
Speaker 5: years old in our lessons program and watching them go
4:01
Speaker 5: through each phase of the program and how they grow
4:04
Speaker 5: and mature, and I hope we don't emphasize who touches
4:09
Speaker 5: the wall first as much as we emphasize the journey
4:13
Speaker 5: to the end of the wall, to the end of
4:15
Speaker 5: the pool. We talk a lot about personal development that
4:19
Speaker 5: that growth mindset and having kids work through challenges and
4:24
Speaker 5: work through setbacks and obstacles.
4:27
Speaker 4: Life is tough. I believe it was the Rocky movie
4:30
Speaker 4: that talked about life.
4:31
Speaker 5: Nothing will hit you harder than life, and when you
4:34
Speaker 5: get knocked down, you just have to keep moving. And
4:36
Speaker 5: when we try and provide them reasonable failures and reasonable
4:40
Speaker 5: obstacles and challenges so that they can harden themselves and
4:44
Speaker 5: strengthen themselves. And you talk about building that confidence and
4:47
Speaker 5: that confidence to go through life and persevere.
4:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, and resilient and focused on a goal too. I
4:56
Speaker 3: think is also really important stuff there. And you guys
5:01
Speaker 3: have been doing in Barrilsviok. Like I said, for a
5:02
Speaker 3: long time, over seventy five years.
5:04
Speaker 4: Now, in seventy five years.
5:06
Speaker 5: We had a big celebration last fall or seventy fifth anniversary.
5:09
Speaker 5: Routy Gaines was in town. We had all kinds of alumni.
5:11
Speaker 5: It was a magical weekend. That's awesome.
5:16
Speaker 2: And of course there's always stuff going on.
5:18
Speaker 3: You guys are busy year round. But what's going on
5:21
Speaker 3: these days? What are you guys up to? Now?
5:23
Speaker 5: We're back in the water. We took spring break off.
5:25
Speaker 5: Everybody got to enjoy it. Even the coaches took a
5:29
Speaker 5: little time away from the pool. We're back in the
5:30
Speaker 5: water now we'll get going. We've got a couple of
5:33
Speaker 5: meets in April. We'll be over in Edmund and down
5:36
Speaker 5: and Jinks. We typically host the big Stars of Winter
5:40
Speaker 5: or Excoose me Stars of Summer in June. We're gonna
5:43
Speaker 5: go a little bit different direction this year. It's just
5:46
Speaker 5: hard to get people to come to an outdoor meet
5:48
Speaker 5: sometimes nowadays with the weather and everything else and so
5:50
Speaker 5: many indoor options, So we're gonna go a little bit
5:52
Speaker 5: different there.
5:52
Speaker 2: But we'll go.
5:53
Speaker 4: Through the summer season. State championships in July.
5:56
Speaker 5: We've got kids traveling to Dallas and Austin and like that.
6:00
Speaker 5: So our top swimmers will do some travel.
6:02
Speaker 4: But just just basically getting back into it and getting
6:05
Speaker 4: that grind down.
6:07
Speaker 5: Unlike some sports, I think our practices are probably our
6:10
Speaker 5: most important thing, not necessarily meets and and and what
6:13
Speaker 5: we do on a daily basis, and the teaching and
6:15
Speaker 5: learning that they do there is really the important things
6:19
Speaker 5: to us as a staff.
6:20
Speaker 4: And hopefully we've.
6:21
Speaker 5: Conveyed that to our parents and have that buy it
6:23
Speaker 5: as well and the kids. The kids start to enjoy
6:26
Speaker 5: the journey yea, and day to day journey and and
6:29
Speaker 5: and that.
6:29
Speaker 2: That wellbody does Leny sport for very long.
6:32
Speaker 3: Really, I think that does become kind of ingrained in
6:35
Speaker 3: them that work. You you know, it shows maybe in
6:38
Speaker 3: the competition and in the games, but but it's you
6:42
Speaker 3: don't get there without that journey, without the practice of both.
6:46
Speaker 4: Being able to smile.
6:47
Speaker 5: They was the sleeping beauty and the and the dwarves
6:50
Speaker 5: whistle while you work, being able to enjoy your day
6:54
Speaker 5: and and enjoy the journey that you're on, enjoy the
6:57
Speaker 5: people you're with, and.
6:59
Speaker 4: And we're through that.
7:00
Speaker 5: I think that that daily support of each other. I
7:03
Speaker 5: know when COVID, we were talking about COVID earlier, when
7:05
Speaker 5: COVID hit, we were so fortunate to be able to
7:07
Speaker 5: get into daily practices, and I think that made a
7:10
Speaker 5: world of difference in our kids' lives, having that community
7:13
Speaker 5: and having that opportunity to sweat together and just bond
7:19
Speaker 5: together through something when all life and everything around you
7:23
Speaker 5: was chaos and a mess. So I do think that
7:27
Speaker 5: journey is very very important, and I think it helps
7:29
Speaker 5: them as they go onto life. And some days you
7:32
Speaker 5: just don't want to get out of bed, But if
7:34
Speaker 5: you've learned to enjoy that and learned how to embrace
7:38
Speaker 5: some of those grinds, I think you smile a little
7:41
Speaker 5: bit more and you've got a feeling deep inside.
7:44
Speaker 3: I mean, I know I've learned that I really look
7:47
Speaker 3: forward to getting out of bed in that first part,
7:49
Speaker 3: that the rituals and routines of the practice every day
7:53
Speaker 3: and layering that up and yeah, it makes the rest
7:58
Speaker 3: of the day easier, I think as you get older,
8:00
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's important.
8:03
Speaker 4: As we get older, some days it's just good to
8:04
Speaker 4: get out of it.
8:05
Speaker 2: Yeah that's for sure.
8:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt so yeah, we do that every day
8:10
Speaker 3: at the dealership too. A lot of similarities I think
8:14
Speaker 3: in business, you know, certainly, and trying to create a
8:17
Speaker 3: team and an environment where people feel supported and want
8:21
Speaker 3: to participate in something that's beyond just individual uh, you know,
8:26
Speaker 3: accomplishment or punching the clock. It's it's it's really about
8:30
Speaker 3: what we all do together and and what that results
8:33
Speaker 3: in for us as a group and for our customers
8:36
Speaker 3: and the community as a whole. It it really is
8:40
Speaker 3: an important part of of our business and has been
8:43
Speaker 3: now for almost one hundred years. And we're proud of that.
8:48
Speaker 3: And I'm happy to support the Splash Club again this year.
8:52
Speaker 4: And and you know, I really appreciate your support.
8:55
Speaker 3: That I think it's it's you guys have been through
8:58
Speaker 3: a lot of changes, your Phillip sixty six Slash Club,
9:02
Speaker 3: but we were there were.
9:05
Speaker 2: But for most people probably still remember that we.
9:08
Speaker 5: Were still blessed to be able to use their facility.
9:11
Speaker 5: Aquatic Center is still our home base. We have gone
9:15
Speaker 5: through quite a bit of organizational transition and then move
9:18
Speaker 5: some things.
9:19
Speaker 3: Around like the rest of the community. Yes, I been
9:21
Speaker 3: to fundraise a little more.
9:23
Speaker 2: We are feeling and.
9:24
Speaker 5: We are hat in hand a little bit more than
9:26
Speaker 5: we used to be, but the community has been tremendous
9:29
Speaker 5: to us, and I think that's a show of respect
9:34
Speaker 5: for what we've done and the show of admiration for
9:37
Speaker 5: how long we've been here and the impact we've made
9:39
Speaker 5: in the community. We do host some major events. We
9:42
Speaker 5: actually still host the Oklahoma Senior State Championships, so every March.
9:46
Speaker 5: There's three weeks ago, we had over three hundred kids,
9:49
Speaker 5: over six hundred people came into Marrowsville for three and
9:52
Speaker 5: a half days for the state championship. We were second.
9:55
Speaker 5: We won it in the past. We were second this year,
9:57
Speaker 5: but just a great impact in the community.
9:59
Speaker 2: Though.
10:00
Speaker 5: Tells were full, the restaurants were full, people were people
10:03
Speaker 5: were here seeing what Barswow had to offer for three
10:06
Speaker 5: and a half days.
10:07
Speaker 4: And it was it was a wonderful event.
10:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:09
Speaker 3: And and that whole community you create around any sport
10:14
Speaker 3: and swimming in particular, uh, that that really is amazing.
10:19
Speaker 3: And like I said, for decades now, you guys have
10:21
Speaker 3: been doing it here in Bartlesville, and and thank you
10:24
Speaker 3: to all the sponsors that make it possible for you
10:26
Speaker 3: guys to go on.
10:28
Speaker 2: I know that that is critical and.
10:32
Speaker 3: You know, so if people are listening and they are
10:35
Speaker 3: you know, maybe they have somebody kid or their child
10:40
Speaker 3: might be interested. How do the people get more information?
10:42
Speaker 3: What's the best way to to kind of take that
10:45
Speaker 3: first step.
10:46
Speaker 4: Our website is probably the best first step.
10:48
Speaker 5: It's splash club dash Okay dot com like splash club
10:53
Speaker 5: Oklahoma dot com. So splash club all one word dash
10:56
Speaker 5: Okay dot com or just call me up. I don't
11:01
Speaker 5: have any problem. I'll answer in the phone and helping
11:03
Speaker 5: somebody guide them through. My number is nine to one
11:06
Speaker 5: eight eight seven six two zero five two, and unfortunately
11:11
Speaker 5: I've got that with me just about my entire life.
11:14
Speaker 5: So I'll usually answer that question that pretty quickly, or
11:17
Speaker 5: you can leave me a message and we'll get you
11:18
Speaker 5: hooked up. And that goes for sponsors too. If if
11:21
Speaker 5: we've got somebody that would like to be involved in US,
11:24
Speaker 5: we would really appreciate it. And it does go a
11:27
Speaker 5: long ways to helping kids get involved with scholarships and
11:31
Speaker 5: things like that. Just kind of keeping fees low.
11:33
Speaker 3: And you are it is a club sport, it is.
11:35
Speaker 3: Let's kind of frame this. Of course, you have a
11:38
Speaker 3: lot of your I guess members are a part of
11:42
Speaker 3: the like the high school swimming team, things like that.
11:45
Speaker 3: But it's a separate organization. You guys are exists just
11:49
Speaker 3: to help this and it starts what is the youngest
11:53
Speaker 3: people each.
11:54
Speaker 5: Three We start with them in three lessons, So as
11:56
Speaker 5: soon as they're potty training and they're three years old,
11:58
Speaker 5: we'll get them in lessons. We actually had the youngest
12:01
Speaker 5: little girl at the state championships last summer, little Arison Ellis.
12:07
Speaker 5: She was five years old, competing to the state championships
12:09
Speaker 5: with wonderful little girl. She was sibling of a couple
12:12
Speaker 5: of boys. Grayson was actually fourth this year at the
12:15
Speaker 5: state championships in the five hundred thre year older brother
12:18
Speaker 5: for the high school team. So it becomes a family
12:20
Speaker 5: event and it's just really cool to see that. But
12:22
Speaker 5: so they started three. Aiden, Howse just graduated or is
12:27
Speaker 5: graduating next month from University Kentucky. Okay, sorry, scratch that.
12:32
Speaker 5: My son just graduated from UIs to Kentucky. Aiden is
12:35
Speaker 5: graduating from unis Versity of Kansas, which is where I
12:37
Speaker 5: graduated from. Sorry about that, Aiden, but she swam all
12:40
Speaker 5: four years, was on scholarship there, did a wonderful job.
12:43
Speaker 5: So we'll take them all the way through their journey
12:46
Speaker 5: and then release them on to the community and hopefully
12:50
Speaker 5: doing some more things. Like Aiden is taking a job
12:52
Speaker 5: as an accountant in Tulsa and doing some amazing things.
12:55
Speaker 5: So it's really fun to watch them progress through life as.
12:59
Speaker 4: You meant should. I do coach the high school team
13:01
Speaker 4: as well.
13:02
Speaker 5: Most of the kids on the high school team come
13:04
Speaker 5: through the club and go from there, so it is
13:07
Speaker 5: kind of an all encompassing little family there.
13:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sure, it keeps you busy.
13:12
Speaker 4: It does.
13:15
Speaker 3: So as far as events coming up, and you know,
13:19
Speaker 3: is it something where a spectator and stuff can come
13:23
Speaker 3: is that possible?
13:25
Speaker 4: Not a whole lot.
13:26
Speaker 5: In the brand of Summer, we do offer four big
13:29
Speaker 5: events in the fall and the winter.
13:33
Speaker 4: A little bit more information you want.
13:34
Speaker 5: In the summer, the international competition is fifty meters, so
13:38
Speaker 5: it's a much longer pool, typically outside like Sooner Pool.
13:42
Speaker 5: The winter season, the collegiate season is short course yards,
13:45
Speaker 5: which is what the P six six A Quartic Center is,
13:49
Speaker 5: so we'll host some major events there. We host a
13:51
Speaker 5: Big ten and Hunderd invite in October, West our Big
13:54
Speaker 5: Stars of Winter meet in December, which usually brings about
13:56
Speaker 5: nine hundred people to Borrowsville. We lost our big meet
14:01
Speaker 5: champions MEETA Champions was seventy sixth or seventy fifth. MEETA
14:05
Speaker 5: Champions was held this past January, which is an amazing
14:08
Speaker 5: event long term, one of the longest running meets in
14:10
Speaker 5: the entire United States. That usually brings in five or
14:14
Speaker 5: six hundred people. And then we held the state championship
14:17
Speaker 5: in March. So those three big events December, January, and
14:20
Speaker 5: early March or when we usually have spectators come in
14:22
Speaker 5: and they can see our light shows and big scoreboard
14:26
Speaker 5: and everything like that.
14:26
Speaker 4: It's a pretty amazing event.
14:28
Speaker 2: And is there a season?
14:32
Speaker 3: Obviously the high school has a schedule, but you guys
14:35
Speaker 3: kind of go year round.
14:36
Speaker 4: We do, well, we'll go year round.
14:39
Speaker 5: We have what we call our short course season, which
14:41
Speaker 5: is that collegiate season the school year largely, and then
14:45
Speaker 5: we have the summer season, which would be the long
14:47
Speaker 5: course season, which is the spring. We're starting that off
14:50
Speaker 5: right now. So when we go to Edmund will summon
14:53
Speaker 5: a fifty meter complex which is a little more than
14:55
Speaker 5: twice the size of the Phillips Aquatic Center. Just a
14:59
Speaker 5: little bit different, a different type of competition, but very similar.
15:03
Speaker 4: I would I would say say, similar to indoor.
15:05
Speaker 5: Soccer and outdoor soccer bull soccer, but there's a different
15:09
Speaker 5: different Yeah.
15:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. Well, it's great to hear more about it.
15:15
Speaker 3: You know, I think what you guys do is really
15:17
Speaker 3: special for our community.
15:18
Speaker 2: As you said, it's it really I think.
15:21
Speaker 3: Impacts people as they go through their lives, and that's
15:24
Speaker 3: it's really awesome. And a little bit of stuff going
15:28
Speaker 3: on at the dealership. Take a moment just to talk
15:31
Speaker 3: about that. We are at the end of the month,
15:33
Speaker 3: trying to push through our goals for the rest of March,
15:37
Speaker 3: and everybody's back from spring break and kind of got
15:41
Speaker 3: their focus. Now we've continue We've had a great selection
15:46
Speaker 3: recently of the tacomas, as we've been selling.
15:50
Speaker 2: More and more of those over the last.
15:52
Speaker 3: Recent months and and so selection is great.
15:55
Speaker 2: You know.
15:55
Speaker 3: On the toyota side, we still are don't have a
15:59
Speaker 3: great huge inventory. Day supply nationwide on toyotas is between
16:05
Speaker 3: fifteen and twenty days supply, so our lots across the
16:10
Speaker 3: country are pretty scarce, but that just means that our
16:13
Speaker 3: vehicles are popular and they can't build enough. They're selling
16:17
Speaker 3: more toyotas than ever before around the world and in
16:20
Speaker 3: the US, and so for us, it's about hitting our
16:24
Speaker 3: goals every month and earning more and more inventory. We
16:27
Speaker 3: seem to be able to sell just about everything we
16:30
Speaker 3: can get. Many of our most popular models, like the
16:34
Speaker 3: RAB four, which has gone through a brand a total redesign,
16:38
Speaker 3: but those are selling before they hit We've had a
16:42
Speaker 3: dozen or so since they started being released in the
16:47
Speaker 3: middle of February that have come in and.
16:49
Speaker 2: Each one is sold either before it came.
16:52
Speaker 3: Or right there within a few hours of it hitting
16:54
Speaker 3: the lot. So you really need to reach out to
16:58
Speaker 3: us and give our great sales team an opportunity to
17:01
Speaker 3: help you find that perfect vehicle for you. They'll take
17:04
Speaker 3: the time to to help you understand what the choices
17:08
Speaker 3: are and narrow that down. We can do dealer trades
17:11
Speaker 3: and and help you get that a little bit quicker
17:14
Speaker 3: if we know we have. If you give us a
17:17
Speaker 3: little bit of dvance notice on what you're looking for,
17:21
Speaker 3: our team is focused on helping you the we're noncommissioned
17:25
Speaker 3: sales environment culture, both our sales teams and the sales
17:29
Speaker 3: management or are you know, the not paid commissions. What
17:33
Speaker 3: that means is they're there to help you. They really
17:35
Speaker 3: aren't focused on maximizing the gross profit on any vehicle
17:39
Speaker 3: they sell.
17:40
Speaker 2: They're looking to sell.
17:42
Speaker 3: In volume and and really I think that changes their mindset.
17:45
Speaker 3: And we want to be there to help you buy
17:48
Speaker 3: the car. And so we do our market based pricing,
17:51
Speaker 3: a simple price approach where we we you know, it's
17:55
Speaker 3: not true one price where we set it and it's stuck.
17:59
Speaker 3: That's a great concept, but there's some flexibility, but we do.
18:03
Speaker 3: We put them where they should sell, where it's a
18:06
Speaker 3: fair price for everybody, and we try to keep things
18:09
Speaker 3: moving that way, keep it simple, shorten the purchase process.
18:13
Speaker 3: I love hearing from our customers these days that that
18:18
Speaker 3: that's working, that it is faster than they expected and
18:21
Speaker 3: more fun, more transparent. That's really important in today's for
18:26
Speaker 3: today's customer. I think that's what people expect and deserve,
18:29
Speaker 3: and we really try to deliver on that and not
18:32
Speaker 3: make it difficult or be pushy in the sales process.
18:36
Speaker 3: That's really important to us, and as we've been you know,
18:41
Speaker 3: we've learned through the decades that's important to team with
18:45
Speaker 3: our customers and align our needs with them. I mentioned
18:50
Speaker 3: the sparks before that what the employees did was they
18:53
Speaker 3: came up with the words that Sparks met, so they
18:57
Speaker 3: kind of took the alliteration backwards. And as I called
19:01
Speaker 3: it the Sparks picture because it had my grandfather in
19:04
Speaker 3: the picture. But uh, they call it it's sincere partnerships, aligned, resilient, kaisen.
19:11
Speaker 2: Makes us all superheroes.
19:13
Speaker 3: So Sparks and you know, I think there are some
19:17
Speaker 3: parallels and how the Splash Cup operates with that. I
19:20
Speaker 3: mean sincerity and being a partner with people and aligned,
19:25
Speaker 3: so we're working towards the same goal and resilient. We
19:28
Speaker 3: mentioned a lot about overcoming obstacles, and kaizen is a
19:33
Speaker 3: Japanese word which means continuous improvement and really having the
19:37
Speaker 3: tools and information you need to do what needs to
19:40
Speaker 3: be done right at the time you're doing it. And
19:43
Speaker 3: then of course if all that linees up, it kind
19:45
Speaker 3: of makes us all stronger as a group.
19:47
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's not about that initial sale.
19:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's about that feeling good about it for the
19:53
Speaker 5: next five or six years.
19:54
Speaker 2: Well, and in a long term approach.
19:56
Speaker 3: You know, when you've been through all the changes we
19:58
Speaker 3: have in the industry, you know, some of the values
20:01
Speaker 3: stay the same. The product changes and the world changes
20:05
Speaker 3: around us, but a lot of it is the same.
20:08
Speaker 3: It comes back from those those lessons my grandfather learned
20:12
Speaker 3: and the on that basketball team and through the other
20:15
Speaker 3: things that he did. He was very motivated to help
20:19
Speaker 3: people learn things, whether it was through sports teams or
20:23
Speaker 3: the four H and F f A, the baseball team
20:27
Speaker 3: we've sponsored for so long.
20:29
Speaker 2: Is is it a good example of that?
20:32
Speaker 4: And is not transactional?
20:34
Speaker 3: No, it's not that it is committal and it is
20:37
Speaker 3: it's about community and absolutely, and I love you know
20:41
Speaker 3: that's this radio show has kind of become about those things.
20:44
Speaker 3: And you know, I know I was looking at your
20:46
Speaker 3: guys webshite the last couple of days as I was getting.
20:49
Speaker 2: Ready to talk to you and you guys have you
20:51
Speaker 2: know you talk about that.
20:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, really in there about the leadership, the skills you're
20:56
Speaker 3: trying to teach people. What your approach to competition is
20:59
Speaker 3: that it's not just about being the first one to
21:02
Speaker 3: the to the wall, which is important, of course, but
21:05
Speaker 3: at the same time, in a race, and not everybody's
21:09
Speaker 3: gonna win and so and everybody has to participate and
21:13
Speaker 3: they each person kind of gets their own thing out
21:17
Speaker 3: of there.
21:17
Speaker 5: I agree undercent that we talk about the fact that
21:19
Speaker 5: every race has one winner, but everybody in there can
21:22
Speaker 5: be a champion. Everybody can can get the best out
21:25
Speaker 5: of themselves. Everybody can can improve themselves. Everybody can support
21:28
Speaker 5: each other. You race with each other against the clock,
21:31
Speaker 5: and and how how how was your performance.
21:35
Speaker 2: Against yourself in a way?
21:36
Speaker 3: And it can because if you keep layer in that
21:39
Speaker 3: work to get better, you're really accomplishing something absolutely, you know. So, Uh,
21:47
Speaker 3: we've got just a few minutes left here today.
21:50
Speaker 2: Uh, it's there.
21:51
Speaker 3: And we mentioned the sponsorships once again. What's the website and.
21:56
Speaker 5: Splash club all one word s p l A, s
21:59
Speaker 5: h C, l U B than a dashokay dot com?
22:04
Speaker 2: And is there does it? What does it cost to
22:07
Speaker 2: participate in the club?
22:09
Speaker 5: Our lessons are sixty four dollars for eight sessions. We
22:13
Speaker 5: run those pretty much year round once they get to club.
22:16
Speaker 5: At stages, we have seven different training groups. Each group
22:18
Speaker 5: gets a little bit more committed and a little bit
22:20
Speaker 5: more expensive, but they start out about forty dollars a
22:23
Speaker 5: month forty to forty five dollars a month and grow
22:25
Speaker 5: up from there.
22:27
Speaker 4: We do have.
22:27
Speaker 5: Scholarships available for those that need a little help, But
22:31
Speaker 5: I think it's a wonderful opportunity to impact your child's life.
22:38
Speaker 5: They talk about the USA Swimming puts out stats and
22:41
Speaker 5: a child is eighty five percent less likely to drown
22:45
Speaker 5: if they've had formal lessons. And I don't know that
22:48
Speaker 5: there's a whole lot of things in life that make
22:50
Speaker 5: that kind of difference in your child's potential health. And
22:54
Speaker 5: you hear these horror stories of families on family unions
22:57
Speaker 5: where a child starts a drown and the pair jump
23:00
Speaker 5: in and they can't some either, and the whole family drowns,
23:03
Speaker 5: and it's just so sad. This This is a sport
23:05
Speaker 5: that not only can save your life, but allow you
23:09
Speaker 5: to save someone else's life. And it really can make
23:11
Speaker 5: an impact in your world and those around you. There's
23:15
Speaker 5: just so much water, all your new retention ponds and everything.
23:19
Speaker 4: Being able to do additions and.
23:20
Speaker 5: There's water everywhere, and being able to be safe and
23:25
Speaker 5: confident in that arena is extremely important. So we we
23:29
Speaker 5: we encourage everyone to get involved and just see what
23:34
Speaker 5: it's about.
23:35
Speaker 3: And at age three and up, and does do you
23:37
Speaker 3: have adult programs at all?
23:39
Speaker 4: We don't have the ability to offer to adults.
23:42
Speaker 5: So once they're out of college and the kind of
23:43
Speaker 5: out of the competitive arena, they move on. I know
23:46
Speaker 5: we've got several of our parents some with the y
23:48
Speaker 5: every day and and do some wonderful things there, and
23:51
Speaker 5: we definitely support that. We just we have limited spaces
23:55
Speaker 5: on our our site, so we're trying to work with
23:57
Speaker 5: the youth. But yeah, say hit six, then we usually
24:01
Speaker 5: allow them onto the competitive team. I mentioned Arison earlier,
24:04
Speaker 5: she got in a little early as a young sibling.
24:07
Speaker 4: But we we pull.
24:08
Speaker 5: Them along and give them measured and appropriate challenges as
24:14
Speaker 5: we go through that that challenging tomorrow's leaders is a
24:17
Speaker 5: real key to what.
24:18
Speaker 4: We try and do.
24:20
Speaker 5: Letting them know that life doesn't end when someone says no,
24:24
Speaker 5: or life doesn't end when you fall down.
24:26
Speaker 4: That's what it begins.
24:27
Speaker 5: That's when you get back up and you you kind
24:29
Speaker 5: of brush yourself off and you figure.
24:31
Speaker 4: Out where did I go wrong or what can I
24:33
Speaker 4: do better?
24:33
Speaker 5: And you learn from those things that that that old
24:36
Speaker 5: school grit that we really want out of them, and
24:40
Speaker 5: that I think that's that's something that we take a
24:43
Speaker 5: lot of pride in and that we're not We're not
24:47
Speaker 5: a flash in the pan social media type that after
24:51
Speaker 5: seventy five years, we try and be a foundational part
24:55
Speaker 5: of the Barlsville community and and really give kids something
24:59
Speaker 5: that that they can lean on in those times of
25:02
Speaker 5: challenges in their lives.
