COR is a USA Swim Club, governed by USA Swimming. Our local swim association is North Texas Swimming, Inc. Our official charter name is COR Swimming Association. Our swim club code is COR. Our user name “nickname” is City of Richardson Swim Team.
Competitive swimming in Richardson began in 1961, under the direction of Neil Matzen, as a member of the local summer swim league. In 1972, Cottonwood pool was winterized and year-round swimming began. The City of Richardson swim team became more competitive and joined the AAU. The team grew and became more active in the Texas swimming scene, but was in need of an indoor practice facility. Club members were instrumental in getting a bond passed and in 1980, two 6 lane 25 meter pools at Berkner and Pearce High Schools were open. COR was able to expand staff and the team quickly grew. Since then, it has produced many outstanding swimmers at the local, state and national and international level. After over 30 years of year round swimming, it is a team rich in history and tradition and prides itself on being a team with a sense of family. COR now draws swimmers from not only Richardson, but many surrounding areas.
Today COR is proud
