The meet began with a crescendo diving relay in which teams had four divers each doing one of the following dives: smallest splash, can opener, most twists, and cannonball. This was followed by a bunch of regular events such as freestyle and medley relays (co-ed), individual freestyle, and IM's (individual medleys). 

Then, the silly/fun events kicked into high gear with the Blown-up Cap Relay, the 4-person Coach/Staff Free Relay, the Parent Relay, the Girls and Boys Crescendo Relays in which particpants representing each of the five age groups swam the following: doggie paddle, sidestroke, elementary backstroke, corkscrew, and hawaiian breaststroke. The 6 and unders swam a co-ed free relay, the 8 and unders did a co-ed kickboard relay, the 13 and unders did a breastroke/butterfly relay, and the 14 and overs swam the Bra Pong Relay in which each of the four relay team members wore a bra while blowing a ping pong ball across the pool to their next teammate in the relay.  

The next two events were the 13 and under 2-person sibling free relay and the 14 and over clothes relay. The final event of the day was the Rather Large 300 Meter Relay in which a girl and boy from each age group (6 and under, 8 and under, 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under, and 18 and under) each swam 25 meters of freestyle. 

At the meet's conclusion, teams were presented with trophies and swimmers also received medals and ribbons for their efforts. A raffle was held, the proceeds of which went to support Swim Across America, held the previous weekend at CST. A good time was had by all!
