North Texas Masters Swimming & Triathlon Training

North Texas Masters Swim Team (NTEX) is a year round adult swimming program offering anyone 18 years of age or older a fun, safe way to improve physical and mental well-being through swimming. Coached practices are held Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning expanding to other training opportunites as the team grows. NETX is for a wide range of swimming ability, from those just starting a swimming for fitness activity, those improving the swim portion of their triathlon, to those competing at the highest levels.

Check out the NTEX relay team that scored two back-to-back Long Course Zone Championship relay records in the 240-279 age group in the 400 medley relay and the 800 free relay! Team members are Joe Wickline, Beth Smith, Sue George and Dave Young. The total of combined years is 241. The team shaved 5 seconds off of the old 400 medley time (interesting sideline is the record existed since 2004 when the same Sue George swam on that record setting relay and the relay was organized and coached by Dave Young). There did not exist a record for the 800 free so today's performance established that record.
