Dallas USA
Second Consecutive Award for Metroplex Team
The Dallas Mustangs
Swim Team has been awarded the Silver Medal Club designation in the
Swimming Club Excellence
Program for 2005. Recognizing the
team’s achievements in swimmer performance, administrative excellence,
financial stability and contribution to North Texas Swimming, USA Swimming
notified the team of its award status this month. Head Coach Mook Rhodenbaugh
was thrilled with the team’s second consecutive silver medal
ranking. Said Rhodenbaugh, “It
takes a huge commitment from all of our swimmers, coaches and families to
maintain this level of excellence. I am
very proud to be associated with an organization that consistently delivers
this performance.” For our club to
earn Silver Medal status in a year without Olympic competition means we deliver
strong performances by both our age group and national level swimmers. Honestly, we have a lot to be proud
of.”
With a second
consecutive year of record membership, a Sectionals victory, consistent top 10
rankings at TAGS, 10 athletes qualifying for Junior Nationals, as well as a
strong team of athletes at U.S. Nationals, the Dallas Mustangs are showing the
results of many years of labor. But
winning the Silver Medal Club of Excellence award requires more than just fast
swimming. Financial stability, coaching
staff qualifications, and a strong Board of Directors are also required for the
club to attain its goals.
Rhodenbaugh’s evaluation shows his pride in the team. “We had some challenges this year with
pool availability and workout group scheduling,” said the Head
Coach. “Our team worked hard to
overcome these obstacles, and the results are reflective of the entire
club’s attitude. It’s a
really good feeling to be part of this team.”
The Dallas Mustangs
Swim Team is committed to a philosophy that keeps kids interested and excited
while allowing time for other activities.
With a professional coaching staff and a track record of success, the
Dallas Mustangs are a good choice for swimmers looking to take that next step
in competitive, year round training.

Ft. Worth Metroplex for convenient instruction and workouts.
Our philosophy is

logistics and philosophies. We strive to
develop a program for each swimmer based on their skill, age, and
interest. It is our belief that swimming
with the Dallas Mustangs Swim Team develops many enduring life skills
including:
