MISD Debbie Weems Natatorium

We attended Texas Age Group Championships for a four-day swim meet at this natatorium and were present for both prelims and finals each day. By about halfway through the second day, both of my swimmers began coughing nonstop. One child coughed so much that he was vomiting, and both were up almost the entire night coughing. It’s very difficult for athletes to perform their best when they can’t sleep between sessions or breathe well. Because of this, we had to keep them out of the natatorium as much as possible the following days. This affected their ability to warm up and cool down properly. The issue was clearly widespread and not limited to our family. Ultimately, we had to treat one of our children with oral steroids due to the severity of the symptoms. This is not a safe swimming environment. The air quality in this natatorium needs significant improvement.

Fantastic facility. The starting blocks don't have the back wedge. Ample seating.

Nice facility. Plenty of parking. Easy to find using google maps. My only complaint that is if the weather is bright the bathrooms are like walking into the sun. We went on a not so hot day and the bathrooms were a lot warmer than the rest of the natatorium, which are not known for being particularly cool.

Great facility for swim meet. Lots of restaurants near by too. Plenty of seats. There is a concession as well. They sometimes do not allow chairs on the concourse. Tons of parking.
