2023 Awards Ceremony Recap

July 23rd

We had a great time on Saturday night celebrating a wonderful first season as a team. Here are some of the swimmers and families that were recognized for their outstanding achievements.

Every swimmer received a Villages of Urbana Blue Crabs medal and a gold 2023 pin to put on the neck ribbon. In future years, only new swimmers to the team will receive a medal, while every swimmer will receive a pin for the swim year to add to their neck ribbon. There were also additional pins handed out to our Mini Crabs and our Junior Coaches.
