In its 16th year, this event brings together the six summer swim clubs that sponsor teams with participants from Upper Dublin Township and the surrounding vicinity, including hosts Sunny Willow, Manorlu, Manufacturers’, Maple Manor, Oreland, and Fort Washington. Sponsored by the Upper Dublin Aquatic Club (UDAC), the Relay Carnival provides an opportunity for swimmers and their families and friends to gather over the summer.
The Relay Carnival was created in 1996 as a cooperative effort between UDAC and the Upper Dublin High School swimming teams, designed to promote swimming as a sport, Upper Dublin as a community, and the FUN of athletic competition. Many participants also represent neighboring communities and area schools. In 1998, the event was named for C. J. Martin, who swam for Fort Washington and UDAC for many years and was a member of the UDHS swim team. This year, as we gather again, we celebrate his love of the fun and spirit of competitive swimming.
Please join us for an exciting evening of competition, from the first 8 & under relay through the thrilling all-ages Grand Slam Freestyle relay and the eagerly anticipated Parent, Alumni and Coach/Lifeguard relays. Who will take home the Bucket, the Lamp, the Chair and the Boot this year? Cheer loud, swim hard, catch up with your friends, and most of all, have fun.
