It is all about fun.<\/p>\n<p>There are skins events, mystery events where a stroke is determined at the last second at random, and underwater fins racing.<\/p>\n<p>There are some regular events, too, but the focus is the swimming community.<\/p>\n<p>Be Better was started by Miskelley&#8217;s parents, <strong>Jill and Steve<\/strong>, and is a non-profit resource focusing on mental health among athletes. The organization has helped more then 300 families and 50 athletes so far.<\/p>\n<p>The movement has risen in awareness the past couple of years. Last year, the meet was at Holland Aquatic Center and features the same three teams plus Purdue.
