About the Swim Team
Our Location: The pool at the Memorial Forest Club (MFC) serves as both our practice facility as well as the pool for home meets. If you are visiting or are new to the MFC, our pool is located at 12122 Memorial Drive.
Our Season: We have a very short season (about two months) so practices are frequent and should be attended if possible. Practices are weekday afternoons while school is in session; the practice schedule moves earlier in the day after school is dismissed for the summer.
Our League: We are proud members of the Memorial Spring Branch Swim Conference (MSBSC). MSBSC provides a competitive outlet and disciplined training program for many to whom this would normally not be available, it encourages the broadest possible participation, protects the dignity of younger and less experienced competitors, and provides balanced competition for all. The ultimate goal of this program is to provide a fun and competitive experience of all involved. To read MSBSC's competition rules, click here. For the MSBSC Sportsmanship Policy, click here.
Team Name, Mascot and Colors: We are the Killer Whales, and our team colors are green and white. Swimsuits change every other season (usually). Representatives from Texas Swim Shop will be on site at MFC during Registration Day to sell swim suits and help with sizing.
Expectations of Swimmer Ability: All swimmers on Swim Team will be invited to meets, regardless of skill or speed so long as they are able to swim a pool-length unassisted.
Parent Requirements: To ensure a successful swim season, each parent is expected to volunteer for at least two individual jobs as part of the registration process.
Swimmer Age Groups: Age groups are determined by the age of the swimmer on May 1. Our age groups are as follows: 6 and under, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, and 15-18.
