Special Note from Coach Leslie


Greenville Splash hosted the 7th Annual Upstate Splash Charity Open Water Swim on Sept. 18, 2021. We could not have done this event without the support of our swimmers, sponsors and volunteers. The Upstate Splash Charity is an all volunteer charity. All of our proceeds are given back to the community to provide swim lessons for children that are in need to prevent childhood drowning in the Upstate. Thank you for swimming for a cause and making a difference in our community.


Please continue to thank our team sponsors by buying their products! Come visit Alpine Ski to pick up a Dolfin swim suit and / or swim equipment. Show your bag tag and tell them you are with Greenville Splash to receive a 20% discount off swimwear and swim equipment. We are also excited to be working with Synergy Wetsuits. Click here to receive a discount code for Synergy.


Send us pictures in your new Greenville Splash swag. 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.
