Hello, Armada families!

Online registration for RETURNING Armada swimmers/families only opens at 8:00 p.m. this Thursday, February 19th. Please use the following link to register: https://wellsbranch.swimtopia.com/register.

*Note: this link will only work for returning families who have an existing SwimTopia account and will not work until the registration link is activated on 2/19 at 8:00 p.m. Central Time. Since most families have not logged on in a while, please take a moment to test your login information prior to Thursday evening.

Online registration will open for NEW families on Thursday, March 5th, at 8:00 p.m. If you know new families, let them know that the younger age groups tend to fill quickly.

Registration fees: Early-bird registration fees are $175.00 for the first swimmer and $150.00 for additional swimmers in the same family. Starting April 1st, rates will be $195 for the first swimmer and $170.00 for additional swimmers in the same family. We recommend registering your swimmer(s) as early as possible, as many age brackets fill up quickly. 

Fundraising: Each FAMILY must also commit to raising/contributing $100 or volunteering at two (2) Austin FC soccer games with Wells Branch Armada. You can pay the fundraising contribution during registration via the Swim Shop, or you can raise funds during our annual Swim-A-Thon, where swimmers can solicit donations per lap swum or a lump sum donation.

Mobile text alerts: Once registered, please download the SwimTopia app to receive urgent mobile text alerts from Armada. Don’t forget to make sure that the text alerts notifications are turned on in your settings and in the app. Otherwise, mobile alerts will be sent to your registered email.

Junior Coach applications: Applications are currently available online on our website. To apply, swimmers must intend on or be a registered swimmer with the WBA, at least 14 years of age, and in ninth grade or higher in the Fall of 2026. We are asking that all applicants commit to a minimum of 20 hours during the season and/or three age group sessions per week. In order to prepare for the season, all interested applicants should submit their applications ASAP. The position of Junior Coach is a great stepping stone for younger swimmers to get more involved in the team. We encourage all those interested to apply! A record of volunteer hours are kept throughout the season, and volunteering is a great way to obtain those necessary volunteer hours throughout high school, if applicable.

Please visit the Wells Branch Armada website for more details on this season, including schedules, practice times, and team events, and to see how our season is shaping up.

We are excited to have you back with the Wells Branch Armada and look forward to seeing everyone this summer!

Best wishes,

Patrick Ricci
