What your swimmer can expect
Practice schedule
Practices run Monday through Thursday, with Fun Fridays to close out each week — swimmers enjoy fun games and popsicles. The season begins with evening practices and transitions to morning practices following the last day of the Houston Independent School District school year. An optional reserved evening practice is also available for competitive team members by request during the morning phase.
Team events & celebrations
The season is filled with team events and celebrations that make for an unforgettable summer.
Swim meets
Swimmers compete in time trials, dual and tri meets, relay invitationals, and championship events. Meets are held on Saturdays, with the exception of the Relay Invitational (Wednesday) and Championship Prelims (Friday). Finals are held on Saturday.
Parent participation
Briar Flyers is entirely volunteer-run. All families are required to fulfill volunteer hours throughout the season — working swim meets and supporting team activities and events. Your participation is what helps keep our registration fees affordable. Please review the Team Handbook and Volunteer pages before registering.
