Magic in the Middle (MIM) Invitational brings club swimmers and families together for a Disney inspired weekend of competition and community. Inspired by a grandfather’s love of magic and belief, this meet reflects the heart behind the hard work. With fast racing and full team spirit, we pause in the middle of the meet for a special featured swim honoring athletes of all abilities. This event celebrates what makes our sport special on and off the blocks.
Disney spirit and character attire are encouraged for swimmers and parents alike as we create an atmosphere filled with energy, imagination, and a little magic in the middle.
We encourage the 12 & Under Session participants to stay for the middle session to cheer and for the 13 & Older athletes to arrive early (10:15am)!
We’ll be handing out gold tinsel fairy wands to Crawfish swimmers and spectators to wave during athlete introductions and races. Together, we can create a little “pixie dust” magic around the pool—with all the sparkle and none of the mess! Grab a wand, cheer loudly, and help every athlete feel celebrated.
Crawfish swimmers, bring your Disney spirit! We’ll also have a competition for the most spirited Disney outfit, with a $100 gift card for the winner!
