Lionfish Parents,

We’re excited to offer our HTX Kick Start Program this spring at Lodge 88, along with our ongoing year-round swimming program in the Heights. We currently offer two programming options for local swimmers, depending on goals and availability.

Programming Options in the Heights

Year-Round Swim Program (Ages 6+)
Our year-round program is currently in the Spring Session (January–April) and is designed for swimmers looking to train consistently, sharpen technique year-round, and learn more advanced skills across all four strokes. This option is ideal for families seeking ongoing development beyond the summer season.

HTX Kick Start Program
The Kick Start Program is a short-term, multi-week clinic designed for summer league swimmers looking to get a jump on the season and build strong fundamentals heading into summer practices.

Kick Start Program Overview
Dates: April 6 – April 30
Location: Lap Pool at Lodge 88
Target Age: 5+
Duration: Age dependent

The Kick Start Clinic focuses on all four competitive strokes. Practices emphasize balance, rhythm, body position, and breathing, with starts incorporated when appropriate.

Requirements
Swimmers must be able to complete a full 25 yards of Freestyle and Backstroke independently.

Equipment Needed
All equipment should be purchased prior to the first practice from Texas Swim Shops:
– Fins (Sporti or Speedo)

– Swim Cap (one HTX Swims cap will be provided at the start of the clinic)

Please clearly label all equipment with your swimmer’s name using Sharpie before the first practice.
