In previous posts I have mentioned all the data on the health benefits of a central vacuum system. On our website you will find a DIY Knowledge Base. We've compiled EVERYTHING you want to know about central vacuum systems in one place. No hunting and pecking around the website to find what you want, just go to our Knowledge Base. We have included a page called "Health Benefits" in our Knowledge Base. Here you will find links to various articles and studies describing why a central vacuum system is a great choice for a healthy lifestyle.
At Central Vacuum Stores we love to promote activities that encourage exercise, because we know that is another element of a healthy lifestyle. This year we again sponsored two little league teams for Baypoint Little League in St. Petersburg. We also sponsored two triathlon teams in the St. Anthony's Triathlon. Roger and I are proud to say that three of our kids, and one son-in-law, were members of these teams!
Dawn and Faith, our daughters, were both doing the swimming leg of the race. The swim is in the open water of Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, we had incredibly windy weather that weekend, and the race officials canceled the swim portion of the race (first time ever in the history of the St. Anthony's Triathlon) because the bay was so choppy the lifeguards in kayaks couldn't get out into the bay. 
The professional triathletes were still allowed to swim, but when they got out of the water they were commenting about how bad it was. After she saw the chop, Dawn, our sensible daughter, mother of four, was relieved to hear they had canceled the swim. Faith, our bold adventurer, said she was disappointed...she would have done the swim if they would have let her. Luke, our son-in-law, felt like he didn't prepare quite enough for the 24 mile bike. He said he knew it was pretty bad when he realized he was looking for things to hit in the road so he would have a flat tire! On the other hand, Drew, our other biker, actually filled in for his daughter who was unable to participate at the last minute. He had a blast and was ready to enter some more races. And finally Micah, our son, was just glad he beat Wendy's time in the run! (Even though he is 20 years her junior, she usually runs 6 miles a couple of times a week). Either way we are proud of our folks for preparing and participating in such a strenuous event. One thing you can be sure of...you won't find any slackers at Central Vacuum Stores.
