One of the things that the Lady Backs take very seriously is our commitment to our community. We are very fortunate at the University of Arkansas to enjoy unparalleled local and state-wide support. But that support comes with a responsibility to give back in whatever way we can. In that past our team has visited children’s hospitals, schools and soup kitchens as a way of showing our appreciation for that support.

On Thursday September 9th, the Razorback swimmers and divers spent the afternoon at the

Donald ReynoldsBoy’s and Girl’s club playing with the youngsters there. Earlier in the semester, they had challenged our team to come to their turf and play some games! As it turns out, basketball, pool, air hockey and foosball are just some of the reason that we all should continue being swimmers and divers! Despite the fierce competition, we had a really fun afternoon and hope that we added even a fraction of the joy to their day as they did to ours.
