Bob Rueppel Mini Meet
The Bob Rueppel Mini Meet at Old Orchard Swim Club, a swim meet for children ages 9 and under, will return on Sunday, July 6, 2025.
Since 1969, children ages 9 and under from Cherry Hill, Marlton, Haddonfield, Medford, Medford Lakes, Mt Laurel, Pennsauken, Merchantville, Voorhees, and other towns in Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties in New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and Delaware have competed in this premier event. The focus is on the younger swimmers and their families- its their chance to be in the spotlight or to try out a new stroke or distance event.
The Meet features 61 events, including fun “kick board” races for the youngest participants! Old Orchard also runs “Hot Heats” with small prizes to the winners of these randomly selected heats. The continued success of this annual event is in part due to the fun, relaxed,and safe outdoor swimming environment offered by Old Orchard Swim Club.
This is truly the perfect event for young children to experience the joys of competitive swimming! Come be apart of one of South Jersey’s oldest and most beloved summer swimming competitions- The Bob Rueppel Mini Meet at The Old Orchard Swim Club.
