Lane 1 - Greenville Online posts "Greenville swimming program slakes competitive streaks, health kicks for area adults. The program, launched in 2009, has grown quickly, according to Leslie Scott, director of the YMCA masters program and head coach of the Splash. “When the program started, we had two swimmers,” Scott said. “Now it is about 150.” While the program -- for anyone 18 or older -- has done well nationally, it is welcoming to swimmers who are just looking for a lane toward getting in shape, for other health reasons or just to have fun."
