MEET RECAPS
ATAC A Meet (Nov 6 – 8)
This
early Season “A” meet was held at the CISD Natatorium in Southlake. We swam well to say the least. We finished 1st out of 18 teams and had
fifty-four Mustangs swimming for us at the meet. Our older kids were still
“getting the kinks out” since this is VERY early still for most of them but
nevertheless they raced well and more than held their own against all of the
top senior programs at the meet. Forty-three
of our fifty-four swimmers recorded at least one best time. Many of our younger age groupers recorded ALL
best times!
Those
that are listed below got some hardware and scored points for the team. Swimmers whose names are in italics were
first in at least one of their races. Mustangs Rock!

TRS BB Meet (Nov 13 – 15)
Forty-one of our Mustangs
traveled out to Grapevine and the 10-laned GISD Natatorium pool to swim in this
BB meet. Although we like that the meets
run fast at this pool due to 9 lanes being used, it sure is tough to pick up
those times off the board when you are used to seeing
only 8 lanes! It is also hard as a coach
to be able to comment on races especially when kids are swimming way across the
other side of the pool! As a team we did
so well that only one of our swimmers in the meet did not get at least one best
time! We finished 4th out of
18 teams in the closely contested team race only a few points out of 3rd
place.
Congratulations to all the
swimmers who swam in the meet. Those
that are listed below scored points for the team in at least one event. Those whose name is in italics won at least
one event at the meet! You “go”

COR Classic A Meet (Dec 4 – 6)
This annual affair was again
held at the Alfred J. Loos Natatorium and we saw some really strong
performances from all our age group and senior swimmers at this meet. For most of the events in the meet it is a
prelim/final meet which of course offers those who swim fast in the morning two
opportunities to knock out best times and whatever time standards they are
shooting for. We finished 5th
out of a very competitive field of 31 teams.
There were many teams that came from hours away and several came from
out of
This was a great, (relatively)
early Season meet that gives both age groupers and high school kids alike the
opportunity to test the waters and see where they are at this juncture in the
Season. Most of our kids had a couple of
days of rest before this meet to give themselves a chance to do something
special. A large group of Mustangs swam
in finals every night so they did perform well!
Below is a list of those who
scored at this ultra-competitive meet.

18th Annual Elite
Pro-Am Swim Meet (Dec 17 – 20)
Our Senior Swimmers ventured up
to Oklahoma City just before the Holiday break and got the opportunity to swim
another prelim/final meet that was even faster than the COR Classic one was in
December in every event. Historically we
do pretty well at this meet and this year was no different. We walked away with the Woman’s team title
and were second overall to the Mission Viejo Natadores. The meet is held at the fast
A “pro” division brings several
ex-Olympians to this meet every year and it was great to watch the 50 free
“shoot out” and see our Claire Brandt go toe-to-toe with some very big and fast
girls. In the guys race it was awesome
to see 50’s under 20 seconds in the semifinal
heats! We walked out with our heads held
high again this year and look forward to taking down
We had Forty-three Mustangs who
made the trip qualifying for the meet despite pretty tough time standards. A couple of our kids were hit with sickness
and that thinned our ranks a little but those that did make it got after
it! Mustangs that scored points at this
“elite” meet are listed below. Way to go
Mustangs!

Metro B/C Meet (Dec 18 – 20)
While our National team and top
Gold swimmers were away……the B/C swimmers played! Not really.
Despite quite a few of our kids getting sick (6 or 7) about forty of our
B/C swimmers ventured up to Allen and swam at the Don Rhodenbaugh Natatorium. And no, Mook is no relation to the man they
named the Natatorium after!
We finished 4th out
of 9 teams and all but 4 of our kids got at least one best time. As with some of the other B/C meets we have
competed in, a few of our B/C kids got ALL best times. Most excellent job Mustangs!

left with some ribbons packed in their bags!

Frisco New Year BB Invite (Jan
8 – 10)
The Mustangs started out the New
Year at this BB meet which was held at the FISD pool in Frisco. For some reason no points were kept but from
the look of the results we swam well as a team. Only 26 of our swimmers
participated in this meet so maybe it is a good thing they didn’t keep
score! Twenty-three of the twenty-six
Mustangs who swam got at least one best time.
Below is a list of those
swimmers who finished in the top 8 in at least one event. Swimmers who have their name italicized took
top honors at least once. Mustangs are
the best!

LAC January A Invite (Jan 15 –
17)
January’s first A meet was hosted by LAC at their Colony Pool location. Sixty-two swimmers splashed their way to a
bunch of best times on our way to a 4th place finish out of 17
teams. We were a scant 2.5 points out of
3rd place! The meet gave us a
chance to test out all that tough training over the Holidays! From the results of the meet I’d have to say
it was a success in all our groups!
The majority of our swimmers had
at least one best time. All 20 twelve
and under swimmers had at least one best time and several had all best
times! These swimmers took care of
business and finished in the money. Most
impressive Mustangs!

TRS B/C Meet (Jan 24)
This meet was held with a unique
meet format. All the events in one
day! It was held at the Grapevine Pool
which is a 10-laned monstrosity. They
scored the meet to 10th place and just cranked out the meet as
quickly as they could. As a team we
finished 3rd out of 7 teams in what was really just a 3-team
race. The meet was pretty long (almost 6
hours) but at least it was over for everybody in one day! Apparently the pool was rented out for
another event the rest of the weekend.
Well you got to do what you got to do!
Here is the list of those who
toughed out the one long day and had some “bling” to show for it. Sixty-six of our Mustangs liked the format
enough to do it! Way to go Mustangs!

ATAC BB Meet (Jan 29 – 31)
This meet was held in The Colony
at the school district pool. It offers
decent deck space and somewhat limited seating but most importantly the pool
seems to be fast which we really like!
We had thirty kids in the meet and we finished 7th out of the
20 teams that competed. Any kid on the
team that is 13 or over may compete in the BB meets regardless of whether or
not they have BB time standards in their respective age group.
We really need more 13 and over
kids to participate in these meets. They
are only one time per month! Over half
of the kids that did this meet only did three events or less. Kind of hard to make up relays for the coaches when so few kids come to the BB meets. Frankly, as a team we need to do a better job
of going to the B/C meets also. If you
are 12 or under and have never swam in a meet that is where you need to
be. Before you enter the water the first
time technically you are a “C” swimmer until you prove otherwise. So the progression on time standards is C, B,
BB, and A.
The following swimmers scored
points for the team at the meet:
Connor Berry (12), Christopher
Collins (16), Patrick Crowling (16), Kendall Ernst (14), Nicholas Hemingway

Greater Southwest
‘A’ Invitational (Feb 5 – 7)
This version of the GSW meet had
a different format. For the most part,
it was a prelim/final meet held at Loos.
The exception was on Sunday which was time finals so that traveling
teams could get home earlier that day.
It also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday which (believe it or not) also
figured into the decision to make it just a time final session on Sunday. We finished 6th out of 34 teams and
had some great swims against some very strong competition. Like the December COR Classic meet the
competitive GSW meet brings teams out of state and especially out of our LSC to
the North Texas Area.
Many of the high school kids on
our team either had limited or no participation in the meet due to the timing

LAC Valentine B/C Meet (Feb 12
– 14)
Fifty-three of our Mustangs went
back to the Colony Pool for yet another meet there over Valentine’s Day
weekend. We had one of our better B/C
meets getting a solid 3rd place just 30 pts out of second and squeaked
out a 13 point win over COPS. Only 4 of
the 53 who attended did not knock down at least one best time. Forty of those swimmers had at least 2 best
times and some many more! Needless to
say it was a successful meet for the Mustangs!

NTN A Champs Meet (Feb 19 – 21)
This meet formerly was called
“TAGS Q Meet” since it used to be one of the last chances kids had to qualify
for the Texas Age Group Champs or even Sectionals. We usually don’t swim any relays at this meet
so that the kids can focus all their efforts towards their individual swims which
hopefully will produce either a time standard goal or a lifetime personal
best. We love relays, but we love even
more when kids get a chance to “extend” their Season and go to a higher level
championship meet than they have ever gone to before.
This year’s short course A
champs was held at the Southlake pool which many of our kids like because it
has historically been a fast pool for just about anyone who swims in it. Fifty-eight of our swimmers helped us to a 4th
place finish in the team standings which was great considering that we didn’t
even swim one relay event the entire meet. It was a successful meet from a
qualifying standpoint. I can’t remember
us picking up so many cuts that we were close to in this meet in the past 10
years. Impressive efforts gave us
impressive results!

to score points are listed below. Way to
go Mustangs!

TRS BB Champs Meet (Feb 26 – 28)
The final BB meet of the short
course season still offered the opportunity for a few kids to still qualify for
TAGS since it was within the qualifying period.
Four kids took down TAGS individual cuts and two more helped relays
qualify by dropping their individual times for add –up qualifying purposes as
well. That in itself would have made the
meet a success but there were thirty-two other kids who happened to swim great
enough for us to finish 7th out of 19 teams despite losing literally
hundreds of points by not swimming any relays.
Only two kids swimming a grand
total of three events in the meet out of thirty-eight who competed did not get
a best time. Eighteen kids got a best
time in every event they swam (average 6 per person!). Very nice!
That’s what I’m talking
about! Point scorers are listed below.

LAC B/C Champs Meet (Mar 5 – 7)
This probably was our best B/C
meet of the Season. It was held at The
Colony Pool and we had a nice number of kids show up to battle the rest of the
We did relays at this meet and
it made a big difference but as a team and for each B/C family we still need to
think about committing to attend every day of a championship meet to maximize
our team’s opportunity for success. We
did have to scratch several relays because kids only showed up for one day of
the meet instead of being at both days they were eligible to swim. Even so, the meet was a huge success and
kudos to our Bronze, Silver, and Red Coaches for getting them ready to race!

and came home with yet another top ten team finish. Rebecca Brandt and

Tuition Policy
The Dallas Mustangs is a
competitive year round age-group swimming program. As such we strive to provide consistent
quality coaching and workout facilities.
To achieve this goal we establish pool rental contracts and salary
commitments with our coaching staff for a full 12-month period. The Dallas Mustangs Swim Team is not, and was
not designed to be a swim program where swimmers drop in one month and out the
next. Flexibility has always been
important to us. We try to work with
each family on the team and we will continue to do so.
Tuition
may be paid annually or monthly. Monthly
Tuition must be paid via
credit card only. NO
checks will be accepted at any pools or through the mail. NO EXCEPTIONS. Annual tuition may be paid by check submitted
with your registration form.
·
Tuition is due from
September through July.
·
Leave of Absence (LOA) is available only for injury and
medical reasons.
·
There will be a
$10.00 per month discount for the second and subsequent swimmers in the same
family. The fourth swimmer is free.
·
If dues are paid
annually, there will be a $110.00 discount for the second swimmer and a $220.00
discount for the third swimmer. If there are more than 3 swimmers; the three
highest tuition rates will be billed and the 4th and subsequent
swimmers are free.
·
A swimmer
transferring from another team must be in good standing with their old team.
·
Tuition is due the
first of every month. There will be a $5.00 per family late fee after the 10th
of the month for non-zero balance accounts.
·
There are no tuition refunds, tuition paid for the month or the
year commits you for that period.
·
Written
communication to the DM Treasurer is required to change or stop automatic
billing.
·
The swimmer(s) may
be barred from swimming if there is an aged account balance is excess of 30
days.
Any questions regarding billing should be addressed
to the team treasurer via e-mail: ablaylock@4oceansys.com
Meet Entry Policy:
Meet
entry fees will be paid by credit card only.
Your credit card will be charged monthly. There will be a $1.00 surcharge per meet per
swimmer added to the fee. Meet entry
fees will be charged separate from tuition charges. All swimmers must maintain a current and up
to date meet entry account. Swimmers who do not provide valid credit card
information for meet entry fees will not be allowed to enter swim meets.
