than her Great Lakes conquest of last summer Thats the word according to Georgetown resident Drew of Keiths Great Lakes swims and its in herent message was one he passed along to a full house during the 12th annual Hills Municipal Awards Night on Feb 8 at John Elliott Theatre says when you dream dream big said the guest speaker at the Feb 8 ceremonies If you believe in yourself you can obtain almost anything challenged to net on be goal- cautioned Last summer Keith tackled a most formidable task one never attempted by anyone before She set out to swim across all five Great Lakes and in the process not only accomplished the feat in record times but also raised over half a million dollars for the Varie ty Village charity currently studying law at York University was in charge of crew and media ar rangements for Keith I used to tell Viciti she had it easy he quip ped Shed swim for hours in a lake and cover 165 miles and Id tell her all she had to do was swim I did everything else The serious side of McGowens address was spent relating Keiths incredible accomplishments to everyday goals in life You all have the power to be winners he told the audience Not just in sports and games but in life McGowen told the crowd of 202 honored athletes and community award recipients that it takes four qualities to succeed in life positive selfexpectancy positive selfmotivation positive direction and most importantly positive self discipline Winners expect to win in ad vance said McGowen Vicki was able to do what doc tors and experts said was impossi ble because she expected to beat the lakes and she did McGowen fondly recalled his first meeting with Keith I asked her what she wanted to do and then we suggested she start with something easier I am she told us McGowen said swimming twice across Lake Ontario was like lengths of a pool for Keith While McGowen those in attendance yourselves and oriented he also against setting ones sights too high Dont set your goals too high make them obtainable he said Put them just out of reach not out of sight said the award reci pients in attendance all had the power to focus on a goal youre like intense laser beams he said Youre very strong and focused You all have power of purpose It puts your money where your mouth is According to McGowen Keith realized her goals of swimming all five Great Lakes one summer by visualizing each crossing well before the actual attempt She visualized each day about how she would conquer each lake She said she had a clear picture of what she was going to do in each lake and she said she could do it in her sleep Indeed those words proved pro phetic as McGowen said Keith hallucinated during various periods of her swims as she actual ly fell asleep while swimming Once she dreamed she saw Mar tians on the bottom of the lake in viting her down to play ping- pong cracked said a lot of people dont realize that Keith swam or treaded water during her entire time in each of the Great Lakes She wasnt allowed td touch the boat or anyone on board he said Her rest periods consisted of floating or treading water and she took all her nourishment in the water And whats on the horizon for the newlycrowned Queen of the Great Lakes According to McGowen an ocean swim around the globe is not entirely out of the question I would expect a major announce ment in the future he stated As for Hills 202 honored individuals McGowen urged them all to continue to pursue their goals with vigor If you remember how you got here and apply it to life youll always excell and be a winner at life he
