Swim Sponsor Highlight: Team Texas


Keith and Sandy each are buoyed by a wealth of successful coaching and swimming experience. An Olympic Triple Gold Medalist and International Hall of Fame swimmer, Sandy has coached adult competitive, recreational, fitness swimmers & triathletes; college (at USC), high school, age group, and summer league teams. She is a wonder with beginners and those with some fear of the water. Keith, a former U.S. National coach, University of Texas Head Coach, and United States Masters Coach of the year, is an internationally known sports psychologist and author. While not the best swimmer in his family, Keith was a Collegiate All American swimmer and is the only man ever to win 11 Gold Medals in a single USMS National Championship.

Keith and Sandy have founded and coached six Austin area masters (adult) swimming programs. Currently they coach TeamTexas. TeamTexas offers year-round training sessions at the Dell JCAA (near Far West & Mopac) for adult competitive swimmers, triathletes, fitness and recreational swimmers of all ages & skill levels.

Sandy and Keith also produce a series of fun open water and pool events in the Austin area for the American Swimming Association, including The Money Box Cap 2k, the Lake Travis Relay, the Highland Lakes Challenge, and the Deep Eddy Mile. Check out the American Swimming Association for more information.
