Quote of the Week

The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing

and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to its close.

In its place we are entering a period of consequences.

Manvel Fan Info

If you're traveling to watch our swimmers Saturday, the school address is:

19601 Hwy 6, Manvel, TX 77578

As you drive east on Highway 6, the school will be on your left.  Turn left at the light and you'll see the large parking lot on your left.  The pool is toward the northeast corner of the campus.

Latest timeline has meet concluding later than I'd guessed (1:55 is current estimate).  As always, timeline subject to change.

Our host has asked that each school provide two (2) timers for the meet.  So we can hold up our end of the deal, we'd like parents and siblings to set up a rotation to cover our lane.

Thanks in advance for helping out!

Schedule Updates

Thanks to our meet helpers Tuesday!  Our timers did a great job, as did our new high school swim official, Rob Vargas!!!

Schedule changes/updates:

Friday
