Tiger Splash 2018 Families-

Thank you for a wonderful 2018 season and we look forward to seeing you all at the pool in 2019.  Here is the newsletter with a request to help provide feedback, information about the swim clinic, TAAF, the next board meeting, and some updates and kudos.  This information was sent in the newsletter form a few days ago, but we made a change to the board meeting date.  Thank you!

Survey for Tiger Splash Families
The Tiger Splash Executive Board would love your feedback on the 2018 Tiger Splash season. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey - your responses will remain anonymous.
TAAF Winter Games of Texas Save the date for the TAAF Winter Games of Texaswhich will be held January 18-20, 2019 in Pearland, TX. This meet is open to all interested swimmers as there is no qualification requirements. Any swimmer interested in participating should register as an "unattached" athlete. Registration information will open in Fall 2018. Questions? Contact Karen Silcox

T.A.A.F. Eligibility Guidelines: Please Review As we countdown to our summer season, now is the time to make sure you maintain your TAAF eligibility.

From January 1st - April 30th all swimmers ages 12 and under are limited to swimming 90 minutes per week. Swimmers ages 12 and under may NOT compete in any swim meets (other than the Winter Games of Texas) or participate on a year-round team during this period. Swim programs or clinics that are open to the public (see below) are excellent options for 12 and under swimmers who wish to swim now.

Please note that swimmers 13 & over do not have any restrictions on swimming under the TAAF Guidelines.
