Metroplex Swimming Turmoil

This storm's been brewin' fer a few years.  The players?

 

On the high school side, it's Keller HS vs. Southlake Carroll HS.

 

Clubs?  Lakeside Aquatic Club vs. North Texas Nadadores.

 

Catch up on the latest at Swimming World here

 

Texas’ powerhouse Keller High School swim teams – both the boys and girls – are in the spotlight after The Dallas Morning News reported on May 15, 2025, that the University Interscholastic League (UIL) has opened an investigation into alleged violations by Keller’s swimming program. If UIL finds the program committed violations, Keller could be forced to vacate the Class 6A state championship titles its boys and girls teams won in February 2025.

 

Link to the 2025 UIL 6A State Championships results is here

 

Both high schools will have new head coaches on the pool deck for the 2025-26 season.

 

CORRECTION:  Kevin Murphy will return to Southlake Carroll HS this fall.  More here

 

Clubs using school facilities will be under a microscope.

 

The swimmers?  They're just doing what the adults tell them to do...
