Competition Guidelines
Purpose
The purpose of the Senior Winter Games (SWG) of Genesee County is to
promote physical and social activities among area senior citizens. The SWG is a
cooperative effort of the City of Flint Department of Parks and Recreation,
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, the Genesee County Senior Directors
Association, all area senior citizen centers and supporting business.
Eligibility
Anyone 50 years of age and older who lives in or belongs to a Genesee
County senior center may participate. Participants must be amateurs and not have
received andy payment for teaching or performing in the category of competition.
Age Categories
Several events have age classifications. The SWG Committee does not want to
exclude anyone therefore due to absenteeism, participants will have the
opportunity to compete with other age groups if there are not enough for
competition in their own age classification.

participation.
Only One Fee to Pay
This fee entitles each person to enter as many events as they wish, a T-shirt
and admission to the Special Awards Luncheon.
Medals Awarded
The top three finishers in each event receives a gold, silver or bronze medal.
Ties will be broken whenever possible with the runner up receiving the silver
medal.
