      This is a summer league swimming program for people of all ages. Families are encouraged to participate.

      After Champs we will move onto Regionals in Rosenberg - July 11th and  if you place 1st-3rd you’d qualify for state at Texas A&M July 30th - August 2nd. 
      Last summer we had 10 kids qualify and we’re looking to double that this summer.
