Many older Severna Park residents remember when the summer neighborhood swim meets took place in the Magothy and Severn rivers. During the 1950s, the Severn River Swimming Association (SRSA) had numerous neighborhoods competing including Sherwood Forest, Round Bay, Olde Severna Park, Pines On The Severn, West Severna Park, Epping Forest, Linstead and Winchester-on-the-Severn.
