Marlin Mania is our first event of the season! Please make every effort to attend this meet, since this is where you will get the "official times" used for seeding in our first dual meet. If you miss Marlin Mania, you will need to get your swimmers timed during special make-up sessions on practice nights.

About Marlin Mania

Location: Forestgate Pool - 7505 S Forestgate Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77382

There are a few key differences between Marlin Mania and our regular season swim meets:

Marlin Mania is our Time Trials meet, there will be no competitor team present, and we do not swim relays.

Swimmers can choose more than 3 events; please sign your swimmer up for any event that they might be interested in swimming during the season. They must have a seed time to enter future meets.

We do not DQ (disqualify) swimmers from events during Marlin Mania. The important thing is to get the swimmers' times. They can continue improving their stroke technique in practice throughout the season.

There are some things that are the same as other swim meets:

We need our volunteers and officials to make sure the meet runs smoothly. This is also a practice run for the volunteers. The Job postings for volunteers is posted on the website under schedules.
