With the season rapidly approaching for Auburn's swimming and diving teams, the coaches and athletes are taking this week to have some fun both in and out of the pool with the annual Spirit Week.
Divided into teams of equal men and women, swimmers and divers, the athletes will be tested mentally with trivia questions about the history of Auburn swimming and diving, swimming history and Auburn University history. Physically the athletes will compete in a mile run, have to do pull-ups and push-ups and swim a 100-yard freestyle for time over the course of Monday through Friday morning.
Spirit Week will end Friday afternoon with the annual Orange & Blue Intra-squad meet. The points earned through the daily challenged will be added to the team scores from Friday's meet.
Friday's intra-squad meet begins at 4 p.m. CT at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center. Admission is free.
