{{citation needed span|date=September 2024|In the mid-1930s, a swimming coach from [[Colgate University]] decided to take his team down to [[Florida]] for some early training at a brand-new Olympic-size pool in sunny Fort Lauderdale. The idea clicked with other college swim coaches, and soon the spring training migration became an annual tradition for swimmers nationwide.}} Now, spring break is an academic tradition in various mostly western countries that is scheduled for different periods depending on the state and sometimes the region.

In the United States, spring break at universities, colleges, and many [[K–12|K-12]] school systems can take place {{citation needed span|date=September 2024|from March to April,}} depending on term dates and when [[Easter Sunday|Easter holiday]] falls. Spring break is usually a week or two long, although some schools schedule it for mid to late March, with separate days off for the Easter holiday.
