A family passion
Mary Sullivan has instilled a deep love of the water across her family of
seven. She is a nationally ranked swimmer with the YMCA and U.S. Masters
Swimming, winning five events in her age group as a distance freestyle swimmer
at the YMCA Nationals in April of this year.
Her children are swimmers too, all incredibly successful in their own
right—the oldest two participating at the collegiate level. One swam at the
University of Illinois at Chicago and another recently committed to swim for
the University of Alabama.
Between their busy schedules, Mary and her husband Colin wanted to make
their home a central gathering place for their family. “We always dreamed of
having a pool and wanted to make sure our kids had time to enjoy it,” says
Mary. “It’s really nice to know they’re safe at home and are still having a ton
of fun.”
To build the perfect pool, the Sullivans partnered with Ben Bayer of The Site
Group with the hopes of combining functional training opportunities and fun
summer memories right in their own back yard.
