Swim Team Events
In addition to swim meets, the Springwood Swim Team hosts several social events. Attendance is not required, but swimmers tend to enjoy these events.
At some point during the season, each age group has an outing with the coaching staff. In the past it has been movie nights, bowling, sleepovers, laser tag and the like. Each event needs a parent volunteer to organize and a few more to chaperone.
Every fourth of July, an auction and a party is organized at the pool. This is a fundraiser and a fun time at the same time.
The Swim-A-Thon is a fundraiser for the team. Kids get pledges for their swim, and then swim as many laps as they can during one of their regular practice days.
A party at the pool to celebrate the friendships made during the season. Swimmers usually bring a present for their buddy. There is music, photo booth, and lots of fun to be had.
A potluck before the last meet of the year.
After the season is over, an evening to celebrate all the accomplishments of the swimmers. Awards from City Meet are awarded. Further, each age group gets awards for highest scorer, biggest hustler and the most improved swimmer.
