The best part of my day is coaching! I truly enjoy getting to see everyone at morning workouts, I wish I didn't have to rush off to be a teacher so I could talk to you longer. I have been hearing that people across America are experiencing a lot of stress due to the pandemic. Please try to make it to a workout at the pool or go out for a quick walk or run. It will make you feel better. And as a double bonus if you come to a Greenville Splash workout you also get to be around awesome people and make new friends.

We are so proud of Greenville Splash for hosting the 6th Annual Upstate Splash Charity Open Water Swim. This event provides water safety awareness and free swim lessons to children at risk in our community. We could not begin to host this event without the support of our many volunteers, swimmers and sponsors!
