Our hallway doubles as a meaningful display for the accomplishments of our swimmers.
To preserve and honor the memorabilia for all to enjoy we are updating the hallway guidelines, effective immediately:
The hallway is for foot traffic or sitting only.
We know some enjoy reading, listening to music, etc. as they sit in the hall. These “still” activities are still welcome in the memorabilia hall.
Otherwise, all traffic in this hallway will be from getting from place to place – moving foot traffic to the other side of the building.
No touching, leaning, etc. on items hanging in the hallway
No running, pushing, roughhousing, balls, or play in the hall – please feel free to utilize the outdoor space just outside the front or rear doors of the facility to enjoy play of this kind.
We will be posting signs to aide as a reminder.
We hope your swimmer’s cap and picture join those we already have displayed and encourage you to share in our Baylor School pride as you share these updated guidelines with your child this week.

What exciting news! The Baylor Swim Club has been awarded by United States Swimming the distinction of being a nationally ranked Silver Medal swim club in the USA Swimming Club of Excellence program for the 2023 swimming season!
What exactly does this mean? This means that Baylor Swim Club is recognized as one of the top clubs in the country based on organizational professionalism and athletic performance. To qualify for this award, Baylor had to submit an extensive report to United States Swimming, documenting club professionalism as well as both national and world-class performance.
New folders have been created for the 2022-2023 season and are available. All awards from meets and past meets will be filed in the athletes’ folders on the pool deck. Each athlete on the Baylor Swim Club should have a folder where these awards will be placed after meets. Please have your child check the folders on the pool deck after practices. The folder boxes are located on a table next to the staff office on the pool deck. If for some reason your child does not have a folder, please email Coach Brian.
The 2022-2023 Baylor Swim Club Team Handbook is now available in the Members section. The Team Handbook consists of all the policies and procedures for members that have joined the Baylor Swim Club.
