H2OUSTON Swims

Description

H2Ouston Swims was founded in 1982, originally as the University of Houston Masters. We are the longest running Masters program in Texas under the same coach. Team Philosophy: H2O is a technique oriented group. We do not subscribe to the mindless yardage is good for you school of thought. As UT Coach Eddie Reese puts it, This sport ain t for dummies! We will teach you to swim smarter rather than just swim longer-harder-and-faster all the time. We swim all four strokes, leaning more in the direction of freestyle, but offer lots of choice swimming opportunities. Competition is strictly at the whim of the individual: we encourage you to compete but do not require it nor think less of you if you eschew competition. We do have one meet each year that we try to get 100 percent participation in: the Woodlands Relays (the funnest meet o year). The group makeup varies with the season: on average we have roughly 30 percent competitive Masters swimmers, 30 percent triathletes, 30 percent fitness swimmers and 10 percent who don t know why they are there. Ability-wise we've got people who've been to Olympic Trials all the way to the other end of the spectrum with some new members able to swim only a few laps without stopping. Ages range from 19 to 70 with the majority of members in the 25-45 range. We have rich people, poor people, students, professionals, artists, tradesmen. No homeless people that I m aware of...
