Thank you to all that have joined Greenville Splash. We appreciate your support. Your new team swag is at the pool. Make sure to ask your coach to give it to you! If you need it mailed to you, let Coach Leslie know. Our swag was made by Coach Scott's students. We have a school based business called Ramtastic Goods that is run by special needs students. They loved making your t-shirts and bag tags.

Greenville Splash swimmers are amazing to watch swim! I truly enjoy coaching all of you, it's such an uplifting way to start the day. Our workouts are gaining in popularity and many workouts have over 20 swimmers. We look forward to seeing you at a workout this month!

If you need some inspiration just look to Kacky Elliott and Barbara Eisele. They both love to compete and go to swim meets. They are amazing to watch! They know all the strokes can dive in off the starting blocks and do flip turns. Barbara is the first person male or female to swim the 1,650 in South Carolina! Congratulations to both these young at heart athletes. Kacky is 84 and Barbara is 92 years young. They both were a joy to watch at the Myrtle Beach meet.

Due to popular demand we are back to posting workouts every week on our website. These are the same workouts that we do at Greenville County Aquatic Complex from Coach Carolyn, Coach Leslie and Beth Cox. Thank you so much to Beth Cox for typing up all the workouts so we can post them for all to see. If you enjoy swimming on your own, make sure to check out our workouts. Click here for workouts:

Thank you to those that have paid your 2023 team dues. We appreciate your support. If you haven't joined, do so soon so you can get a cool t-shirt. If you have joined you should have received your team swag. Make sure to ask your coach at GCAC or the Kroc to give it to you. If you need it mailed to you, let me know. Our team shirts and bag tags were made by Ramtastic Goods a business run by special education students at Hillcrest High School.
