about Cypress Creek Swim Club
Club History
In 1967, a small group of homeowners in the Tower Oaks subdivision purchased a 3.5-acre tract of land on Tower Oaks Boulevard, with the vision of creating a social club. One of the founders was an engineer who helped design the facility, which included a swimming pool, bath house, tennis courts, and a playground. The founders created the original By-Laws and sold memberships to finance the building of the Club and to pay them back for the land. The original name for the club was the Cypress Creek Recreation Association.
In 2023, the facility was broken into and vandalized to the point that we were on the verge of closing the doors. But with a generous donation and many volunteer hours, we rebuilt the club. Part of the rebuilding was also to re-brand and apply to become a 501c3. In January of 2024, we officially changed the name to the Cypress Creek Swim Club. The club is still home of the Barracudas and our mission is still the same, to promote fitness and fellowship through swimming and other activities.
