Broom curling is a sport that originated in Scotland and is similar to the game of curling. It involves two teams of four players each, who use besoms (broom-like tools) to sweep the ice and propel a stone towards a target. The team with the stone closest to the target at the end of the game wins. SWEPT is an action used to describe the motion of the BESOM on the ice. Hilda is a type of BESOM used in broom curling.
