"Training Athletes, Building Character, Creating Leaders"

Welcome to the BSC Traditions Page!

*RISE AWARD

We started the RISE AWARD in 2018.  This is the highest award given to a swimmer at our end of the season summer banquet.  RISE represents an athlete that displays respect, integrity, safety and excellence, our core values.   Here are our past recipients:

2018 - Morgan D.

2019 - Ellie M.

2020 - Cailin B.

2021 - Cameron S.

2022 - Kennedy L.

*LEADERSHIP/CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT

Leadership and character developement is the core of our program.  We spend the short course season talking about a particular theme of the season.  This past fall of 2021 we did leadership talks from our coaching staff.   

*MENTAL FITNESS

Mental fitness training is a part of our long course season.   This past long course season we used the "Restoic App", a 12 week program with multiple areas discussing mental fitness each week.  Goal setting was a part of the Restoic program. 

*GOAL SETTING

BSC promotes goal setting from our youngest to our oldest swimmers.  Goal setting occurs 2 times a year for short course and long course.
