Make a Difference
Thank you so much to all of our swimmers that came out on Feb. 18 Greenville Splash Night to volunteer time at the State Age Group Championships. We had a fabulous turnout to help our younger swimmers. Your help was very much appreciated by Team Greenville.
We are beyond excited at the start our 2019 Adult Learn to Swim. Our team is full of swimmers that share their passion for swimming by teaching others to swim and be safe in the water. We are teaching 50 adults during the months of March and April.
Our next meet planning meeting is April 27th. We meet before Saturday workout to prepare for the Dixie Zone LCM Championships in June. It's a great feeling of giving back to our fellow swimmers around the country.
