Greenville Splash Masters

We are starting a movement thanks to one of our Upstate Splash Open Water Swimmers. Babs McDonald from Georgia came up with a great idea. Let's start a collection of used goggles to be given to swimmers in our learn to swim programs.

Drop off used goggles at Westside Aquatic Complex,

give to Leslie on the pool deck

or mail to: 313 Marsh Creek Dr. Mauldin, SC 29662.

Thank you Babs for our first box of goggles and for a cool idea!
