For thirty-seven years the Ponderosa Invitational has been the championship swim meet of the Northwest Aquatic League. Starting in 1971 with only eight teams, it represented the first end-of-the-season competition for the recently formed league. The Ponderosa Forest Swim Team was proud to host the inaugural meet in 1971 and remains dedicated to continuing that pioneering spirit by hosting this year’s 38th Annual Ponderosa Invitational. NWAL now includes 15,000 swimmers from ninety-nine teams representing subdivisions and cities covering the entire Northwest Greater Houston Area and bordering areas as far north as Bryan-College Station.

The 2008 Ponderosa Invitational will be held at the Klein Collins High School Natatorium on June 28th & 29th, and we look forward to seeing you, your parents, coaches and teammates. Over the years, qualifying for the PI is an accomplishment that all swimmers have been proud of. This year, you join the NWAL elite, “NWAL’s Best,” by qualifying for the Ponderosa Invitational. Many finalists have continued swimming after graduation and have gone on to represent their Universities, Colleges, and the USA Olympic Teams. One of most exciting and rewarding things however, is to see and hear of the swimmers whose parents also swam in this Invitational.
We would like to thank our sponsors and many others for their generous support. We also want to thank all of those Ponderosa parents, NWAL officials, and parents from around the League who over the years have made this event an annual tradition.
