While designing this page, selecting one sole picture hardly seemed fit to describe Swimrific. With the right type of background music, inspiration came. Thus, this collage was born.
So... Who is Swimrific? And, what's Swimrific really about?
ABOUT SWIMRIFIC
Founded, owned and run by Shirlyn, Swimrific is the predecessor of Swim Unlimited. Past company included, we've been around for about nine years now. Swimrific came about through the play on words "Swim" and "Terrific". Being the quirky individual she is, Shirlyn loved how Swimrific is coincidentally and cheekily also a play on the word "Swim" and "Horrific". Hence, the business name stuck. Also, because of that, one of our shortlisted mottos was "Swimrific - bringing you from horrific to terrific".
We're glad she didn't decide to go with that.
