austin tx: Eat My Bubbles - 06/14/10 09:12 AM
Swimming is a sport started at an early age in Austin.  A role model of the top Long Horn Swim Team doesn't hurt to get a youngster interested.
There are many summer league programs to join which gets kids up and active racing to swim practice during the week (yes, that means rolling out of bed early during summer vacation) and competing with their team on weekends at swim meets.  It is a family affair as it takes the effort of parents to organize age groups, sell food at the concession stands, time the races and so much more.
My youngest … (7 comments)
