Edit - A few days after this post went up, I stepped away from club coaching - for at least a few months. That means ShAC-BC & BCAT are "on hold".
We'll be using that time for some travel and to work on quite a few projects that have been on the back burner for the past couple of years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike other state associations, the UIL does not limit our swimmers' participation in club swimming. They leave it up to each individual school to decide on a policy that would allow their athletes to participate in - or not participate in - both club and high school swimming concurrently.
Here are our options:
Coastal Cities Aquatic Association (CCAA)
Many Aquacats also participate in regional and state competition through the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF)
We have one of two satellite programs (the other is located in Beaumont) that compete with our parent club, Swim Houston Aquatics Center (ShAC).
ShAC-BC is not a summer league prep program! The expectation is that athletes will train daily (2/day in summer) and attend only ShAC (USAS) meets.
A third option we're considering is Big Cat Aquatic Team (BCAT). Coach Dana Abbott and I have registered the team with the AAU. He has a small workout group started in Katy. I've been waiting to see a) if we'd have a facility to train/compete in, and b) if there would be interest.
Our Bay City squad would be an after school & summer (non-USAS) group. Please email me if you'd be interested in this option.
