Since there are no posts in the South Texas thread I thought I would ask here. Is anyone around here involved with a Masters program in Austin? If so which one? I am looking for a program to join and am leaning towards Longhorn Aquatics, but I would like to hear some personal accounts. I am not competitive, but rather a late bloomer. I know the basics of the strokes, and want to improve in all 4, along with becoming faster, and eventually competitive. Any thoughts on Austin clubs are greatly appreciated.

ATXswimgirl,
Recently I was in Austin for my son's wedding and swam with a great group and coach at St. Edward's University, 3001 S. Congress Ave. The coach was very good and very personable. I would definitely go there again if I am in the area. They swim in a 25m indoor pool and have a website www.austinaquatics.org and I received a reply right away from the listed contact.
If it's close enough to try, I would highly recommend it.
