The term "Masters" sounds daunting, but in swimming it simply refers to any swimmer over the age of 18. Houston Cougar Masters, a U.S. Masters Swimming registered club, is a diverse group of fitness swimmers, competitive swimmers, and triathletes ranging in age from 18 to 94. Our Coaches offer challenging workouts and expertise in stroke technique tailored to each swimmer's individual abilities and goals. Come swim with us! All ability levels are welcome.
All participants must be registered with COOGS under U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS), through their website. Once on the USMS website registration page, select "gulf" as the LMSC and then Houston Cougar Masters as your team. There are lots of benefits as a USMS member, including a bi-monthly magazine, a monthly e-newsletter, access to swim workouts, and a personal training log.
