Each week, Mark selects a male and female "Swimmer of the Week" for each practice group. A "Swimmer of the Week" is a swimmer who has demonstrated excellent attitude, effort and sportsmanship during the prior week.

"Swimmers of the Week" earn a special “Swimmer of the Week” patch, a SLIC (for 8 & unders), and get their pictures taken. Each week, the "Swimmers of the Week" are announced in the weekly team email. Their pictures are also displayed on the team bulletin board at the pool.
