CCV Big Fish/Little Fish FAQs
What is the Big Fish/Little Fish program?
The Big Fish/Little Fish Program is designed to provide interaction between older and younger swimmers, encourage and motivate the younger swimmers, help teach the older swimmers the importance of mentoring and caring for others, and to encourage camaraderie and team spirit between all swimmers and their families. Big Fish/Little Fish Coordinators will pair veteran/older swimmers with new/younger swimmers to the CCV Vikings team.
Each meet head to the tent that says Big Fish/Little Fish during warm ups to connect with your Big/Little Fish. For each of the 6 regular season meets the Big Fish/Little Fish Coordinators will have a different activity that you can complete together. Bigs can help prepare their Little(s) for their events. Cheer for your Big or Little Fish throughout the meet!
Who can participate:
Anyone on the swim team (Splashers excluded at this time).
Time Commitment:
During meets only–Attend 4 of 6 swim meets throughout the season. Spend time with your Fish during the meet completing the activity together, getting to know each other and helping them become familiar with the CCV Vikings. Cheer for your Fish during their events.
