In 1976, Moraga Valley Swim and Tennis members Craig and Linda McCay decided to organize and host a swim meet with a twist. The idea was to give children at the "bottom" of their age group an opportunity to compete against only swimmers of the same age.
On July 7, MVP in Orinda held its 38th Annual MVP Bottoms Up Invitational Swim Meet. The club welcomed over 700 swimmers from local swim teams to compete in the summer tradition.
Results:
1 Orinda Park Pool Swim Team 706
2 Orinda Country Club 681. 50
3 Sleepy Hollow Legends 621. 50
4 Meadow Swim & Tennis Club 602. 50
5 Moraga Country Club 490
6 Moraga Ranch Swim Club 421
7 Moraga Valley Pool Swim Team 387. 50
8 Campolindo Cabana Club Marlins 142
9 Miramonte Swim Club 117
