SWISH Participants Now University Basketball Players

By Matthew Kruchak, University of Manitoba

The Summer Weekend Inner-city Supervised Hoops (SWISH) program is helping develop mentors and university-level basketball players.

SWISH gives inner-city kids a place to play basketball in a supervised setting every Saturday throughout the summer. Parking lot E on the Bannatyne campus is converted into basketball courts and the free-drop-in run by the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Office of Community Engagement is staffed by U of M Bison and community basketball players, and former SWISH participants.
