The Northwest Aquatic League, or NWAL, is Texas' largest summer swimming organization and has become the second-largest summer league program in the nation. NWAL has almost 100 teams and over 15,000 swimmers from ages 4 to 18.

The NWAL season begins in early May and runs through the end of June. Teams are divided into a division with 5 or 6 teams each making 16 divisions in total. Some teams have as many as 350 swimmers while others have 45 to 50 swimmers. Typically each team has 5 dual meets on successive weekends, followed by a Divisional meet on week 6. The season concludes with several championship invitational meets. Huntwick is a subdivision member of NWAL with generally 100 to 120 swimmers.
