Lisa Hartpence

I initially became involved with the YMCA when I was 13 and did competitive gymnastics for the Y. I have been a participant of the YMCA of San Diego County gymnastics team. As a staff member I have coached Tiny Tot (2-3 year old) sports, gymnastics, worked in Child Watch, Membership, and even assisted with Sumer Camp and the Enrichment program for children of essential workers. I also volunteered for 3 years for the YMCA's Clash at Clairemont. This is a skate park even held annually to raise awareness and funds to help end cancer.

As a staff member, I have built lasting friendships with several of my co-workers. Working at the Y is not just having co-workers, but it's like having a second family.
As a member of the Y, I was able to train and complete 3 sprint triathlons in 1 year. I had no true experience in any of the 3 events, but with the assistance of our Aquatics director at the time, personal trainers, and Cycling instructors I was able to train and meet this goal.
