Did You Know?

It’s time for that annual rite of spring for high school and college students everywhere! Spring Break!!! Ever wonder how this so-called “holiday” came to be? Here are a few factoids about this sometimes-infamous break from school.

Did You Know? - TRIVIA -

Spring break as we know began in 1936 when a swimming coach from Colgate University in frigid upstate New York decided to take his team down to Florida for some early training at a brand-new Olympic-size pool in sunny Fort Lauderdale.

A study by the American College of Health reported the average male drinking eighteen alcoholic drinks per day and the average female consuming up to ten per day during spring break.

Every year, between 1.5 and 2 million students in the US go on spring break and collectively spend over $1 billion.

Spring break in the United States dramatically increased in popularity with the release of the book and 1960 movie titled Where the Boys Are. An English professor who tagged along with college students during spring break wrote the novel.

The five top destinations for US spring breakers are 1) Panama City Beach, Florida; 2) Cancun, Mexico; 3) Daytona Beach, Florida; 4) South Padre Island, Texas; and 5) Colorado’s ski resorts.
