Team History
The SEALS swim team started in 1990 with just 24 swimmers, practicing at the DeCordova pool and competing against country clubs like Pecan Plantation and Ridglea Swim Club. In 1991, we joined TAAF, and our practices moved to the Granbury Racquet House (Center for Health & Fitness).
By 1993, the Granbury City Pool became our home, and we hosted our first circuit meet, welcoming over 400 swimmers. Since then, the SEALS have grown tremendously—from 60 swimmers in 1994 to nearly 300 in 2008! Many of our athletes have competed at the state level, setting records that still stand today.
