March Madness was an epic success with over 50 swimmers participating throughout the month. It was really fun to see our swimmers get excited about racing different events and challenging themselves to try something new and get out of their comfort zone. Our youngest swimmer to do the challenge was 18 years old and our oldest person was 82! We love how some really kicked into high gear with racing the events and even more proud of our newbies that had never swum these events before! And how could we forget our triathletes that swam all these crazy events. Great job to all our Greenville Splashers!

Make sure to pick up your prize from Coach Leslie at workouts in the next two weeks.

The March Madness Fitness Challenge was so much fun. We were super excited to see so many of our swimmers participating! Make sure to pick up your prize in the next two weeks at the pool.
