Meet the Marlins
As many of you know, Barkers Ridge Swim Team was first formed in 1992 by two Barkers Ridge parents, Denise Allen and Linda Hendrickson. It’s hard to believe that more than 30 years later we are gearing up for another great swim season! Back in 1992 we had 40 swimmers and by 2023 that number had grown to about 100! Our goal remains the same - to promote personal growth, self-esteem, fun and instruction in the sport of swimming. All youth between the ages of 4 years old (as of May 1st) and 18 years of age are welcome to join provided they can swim from one end of the pool to the other without being assisted.
With a talented home grown coaching staff, a team of incredibly hardworking, motivated swimmers, and of course, our dedicated parent volunteers, BRST continues to be the BEST swim team in the West Houston League.
The purpose of BRST continues to be: the introduction of recreational, yet competitive swimming, for the younger and the less-experienced swimmers, to further educate children and parents in competitive swimming, provide a positive enjoyable environment and good sportsmanship and to encourage each swimmer to achieve his/her highest individual potential through peer, parental and coaching staff support.
At BRST, all swimmers are equal and integral members of the team. Our coaches strive to promote positive attitudes, healthy bodies, disciplined minds and enduring friendships.
