Celebrating 13 years of Krakens!
The Cross Creek Krakens swim team (CCKST) is part of the West Houston Aquatics League with 35 teams and over 4000 swimmers. The upcoming 2026 season will mark the 13th anniversary of the Krakens team. We have delivered on our goals to create a fantastic team and have fun while promoting youth fitness, team spirit and a sense of community pride. The team is managed by volunteers and funded through registration fees and sponsors. We hope to have your sponsorship support to make this year another rewarding year for our youth.
Sponsorships are a great way to enhance company name recognition through exposure to a sizeable demographic in the West Houston/Katy area while at the same time, supporting youth development activities in our local community.
Please reach out to the Vice President or any Board member for sponsorship questions.
