The Buddy program is designed to provide interaction between older and younger swimmers, encourage and motivate the younger swimmers, help teach the older swimmers the importance of mentoring and caring for others, and to encourage camaraderie and team spirit between all swimmers and their families.
It is the responsibility of each buddy to cheer for each other at swim meets.
It is also sometimes fun for Buddies to provide each other with a small gift at swim meets such as:
- Gatorade
- Candy (except on day of prelims...)
- Small items from the dollar store, etc
- Personal notes / cards of encouragement are always nice too
