Spring is a great time of year for Greenville Splash. April is Adult Learn to Swim Month and these volunteers are ready to teach 60 adults that have signed up: Katie Broussard, Michelle Carpenter, Kacky Elliott, Chris Gibbs, Athena Jones, Becki McGee, Melinda Menzer, Carolyn Moore, Beth Nease, Leslie Scott, Janine Serell, and Maureen White. Greenville Splash provides free lessons for adults in our community during the month of April at Greenville County Aquatic Complex. It is such a rich and rewarding experience to teach adults that have never had the opportunity to learn or overcome a fear of the water.

Thank you so much to the following swimmers for being timers at the State Age Group Championships: Susan DeMere, Kacky Elliott, Becki & Bob McGee, Carolyn Moore, Beth Nease, Kristi Panayytoff, Leslie Scott, Wil Seifried, Rox Selbach, Brenda Stephens and Maureen White. It means a lot to give back to our younger swimmers.

New team swag is here! Make sure you have picked yours up at the pool. If you haven't received it, let Coach Leslie know by sending an email.

New swim meets may be on the horizon! Charlotte Masters are working on hosting a Short Course Meters meet in October and Columbia Masters is looking into hosting a Long Course Meters Meet at the USC pool in August. More information is coming soon.

Send Leslie results and pictures of your events for our next newsletter. Feel free to email Coach Leslie at greenvillesplash@gmail.com or give me a call if you need any help with anything: 864-283-1328.
