The kinematics of the young stellar association near the Sun TW Hya is studied. Kinematic estimates of the age of this association were obtained in two ways. The first method - the analysis of stellar trajectories integrated back in time gave an estimate of the age t=4.9±1.2 Myr. The second was to analyze the instantaneous velocities of the stars; it showed that there was a volume expansion of the stellar system with the angular velocity coefficient K_xyz=103±12 km/s Based on this effect, the time that passed from the beginning of the expansion of the TW Hya association to the present moment was found, t= 9.5 ± 1.1 Myr. The following principal semi-axes of the residual velocity ellipsoid were determined: sigma1,2,3=(5.25,1.84,0.35)±(0.34,0.63,0.26) km/s.
