We are so proud of our team for hosting the Greenville Splash Invitational! It takes a village to run a swim meet. We had 35 swimmers competing in the meet and another 40 that volunteered. Thank you so much to all of our swimmers, friends and family for volunteering and making this community service project such an epic success. We had 140 swimmers from all over the southeast that came to compete and have fun. Your volunteer spirit allowed these swimmers the opportunity to participate in a fun swimming environment to keep fit and stay motivated in the sport of swimming.
