Team Suit Day April 19th and April 20th!

PMR swim team suits are a requirement for all dual swim meets. If you do not have a team swim suit, you will need to purchase one. Suits will be worn for team pictures on May 14.  Limited quantities of the Dolfin Color Block suit are available in the store for same day purchase.  

PMR Suit Fitting Day is April 19th and April 20th at D&J Sports!  All swimmers will get 15% off equipment during these days (not the team suit).  

However fittings and purchases can be be done anytime at D&J Sports at: 617 S. Mason (Hours: M-F 10am - 5pm & Saturday 10am - 2pm)

  • $46 for girls 
  • $35 for boys jammer suits

2024 Team Tryout Information

ALL NEW swimmers, including siblings of the 2023 team, MUST try out for the team. Swimmers must be age 4-18 by May 1, 2024, no exceptions.

Members of Katy Aquatics competitive (not Swim America), Texas Elite, FCST, FRST, Power Aquatics, a high school swim team or any other competitive swim team, may contact the team at [email protected] as your child may not have to go through tryouts.

Tryouts were held at Texas Swim Academy's indoor pool (3514 Greenbusch Road) on:

  • Saturday, February 10 from 12:00pm - 1:30pm
  • Saturday, February 24 from 12:00pm - 1:30pm

If you missed tryouts, please contact the team: [email protected]

Tryout requirements are as follows:

  • Age 4-6: Freestyle swim any which way but must get across the length of the pool without any assistance or panic.
  • Age 7-8: Freestyle swim but must get across the length of the pool without any assistance, panic or turning over to float on the back. Must also know Backstroke.
  • Age 9-10: Confident Freestyle and Backstroke swim across the length of the pool. Should also know at least Butterfly or Breaststroke.
  • Age 11-18: Confident Freestyle and Backstroke swim across the length of the pool. Must also know Butterfly or Breaststroke.

The age used is your child's age as of May 1 of 2024 as that is their swim group for practice and meets. Once they are on the team, they will learn more stroke development and get to enjoy the competition of swim meets.

Swim Team is not a Learn to Swim Program. A swimmer must be comfortable remaining in the water independently. While coaches will teach strokes, dives and turns, each age group should have a certain amount of swim knowledge before trying out for the swim team. If in doubt, it is highly recommended that swim lessons be taken before tryouts. We highly recommend swim lessons at Texas Swim Academy. They do a fantastic job and they know the swim team requirements for all four strokes. You may contact Texas Swim Academy at 832-437-6186.

Registration information after tryouts is listed below. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
