Beach Ball Games
Prior to our first meet, the Marlins have a little fun to kickoff the season!
In 2024, we debuted the inaugural Beach Ball Games. Hungry Hungry Marlins, Keepy Uppy, and Raft Relays were just a few of the silly challenges the Red, Blue, and Yellow teams faced.

End of Season Awards
Our End of Season Party is a fun way to celebrate the swimmers' dedication throughout the Summer. A highlight of the event is the End of Season Awards, which recognize three categories for each age and gender group:
- High Point: Most points earned for the team.
- Most Improved: Most time improvements &/or greatest percentage time improvements throughout the season.
- Coach's Award: Selected by the coaches; this individual consistently exhibits Marlins' team values of perseverance, resilience, kindness, and integrity.
Please note that all swimmers receive a medal at the end of the season, however not everyone will receive a trophy. We ask that you help us set the right example for how to handle this with the swimmers.
Note: If a swimmer qualifies for multiple award categories, they will only receive one award. Both "High Point" and "Most Improved" are determined by a Swimtopia report at the end of the season. If a swimmer wins both, they will receive the "High Point" award, and the swimmer with the next highest total improvements and/or greatest percentage time improvements will receive "Most Improved."
