Who we are
Like most Masters groups, the membership is diverse, comprising former competitive swimmers, triathletes, novice swimmers looking to improve their skills or finish their first triathlon, and a growing group of swimmers who travel to exotic locations for open water swims. And you can always find a group of us at Starbucks for coffee after our Saturday morning swims. We love our team social get-togethers too!
History
Founded in 1985 Fort Bend Masters Swimming (FBMS) is a member of US Masters Swimming (USMS) in the Texas Gulf region. The team was reorganized and incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2007. Practices are conducted in an atmosphere of camaraderie and friendly competition, and workouts are structured to encourage recreational and competitive swimming.
Organization
2022 Board of Directors
As a 501(c)7 non profit, we are self-supporting and count on our swimmers to volunteer to take on leadership roles for the team. We hold an annual meeting in January or February to elect the incoming board. FBMS encourages its members to volunteer in one way or another for the team and in our community.
