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.
