[quote=Anonymous]Potluck, Saturday evening after divisionals. At the pool,  which is still open for anyone to swim, but the team takes over the picnic table area.  Families can bring their own food if they don't want to participate in the potluck, but very few do.  The kids usually see the spread and want to eat what their friends are eating.

Everyone gets recognized with a ribbon and applause.  Any team records or individual / relay all star qualifications are announced (we have very few if any in a normal year, so it's a big deal for the team when anyone gets into all stars). A few special awards - high point goes to someone who swims A meets, most improved is usually a B meet swimmer or someone who swam B meets most of the season and get into an A meet near the end.  Coach's helper award usually goes to a teen who hung around to help the younger kids' practices, could be any level of swimmer. Spirit award goes to the loudest and most flamboyant, regardless of swimming level. Those are the only special awards, so it's true that most swimmers don't get one, but they go quickly and don't get a lot of attention. Adult volunteers are recognized.  Then everyone jumps in the pool for an evening swim.  Fun seems to be had by all. My kid has enjoyed it when he won an award and when he didn't.[/quote]
