Who Can Join?
The Firethorne Firefish Swim Team is open to swimmers ages 4-18 who meet eligibility requirements. The team competes in the West Houston Aquatic League (WHALe) and prioritizes registration for returning swimmers. All swimmers must be able to swim at least one length of the pool independently and will be evaluated during the first two days of practice.
Practice & Volunteer Commitment
The Firefish Swim Team is a community-driven program that relies on family involvement. A $250 credit card authorization is required at registration to ensure volunteer commitments are met, but this is not a buyout option—families are expected to contribute their time to the team’s success.
Official Firefish Team Swimsuits
The 2025 Firefish team suit design remains the same as last year, offering two style options for girls (Freeback and ThinStraps) and jammers for boys. Swimmers can be fitted at D&J Sports, located at 617 South Mason Road, Katy, TX 77450, on March 21 and 22, 2025.
Join the Firefish Community
The Firethorne Firefish Swim Team is more than just a summer sport—it’s a community where young athletes develop confidence, discipline, and friendships. With a mission to create a supportive and competitive environment, the Firefish team ensures that all swimmers feel valued and have opportunities to succeed.
