Eligibility
Swimmers must be residents of the
Travis Country neighborhood in Southwest Austin and must have some
experience in the water. Swim Team is not a substitution for swim
lessons, and the size of the team precludes coaches from being able
to spend a lot of time helping individual swimmers learn very basic
skills. Swimmers MUST BE FIVE YEARS OLD as of MAY 1 of the current
season. Swimmers over 18 as of May 1 are
ineligible.
