Hello Waves families!

Our coaches have been working hard teaching new skills to the youngest members of the team as well as preparing older swimmers for their first meet of the season!

Just a reminder, if you have any concerns regarding your swimmer or have a question or a suggestion, please ask one of the coordinators while children are practicing or talk with a head coach after practice is over. Also, if your swimmer has a question during practice, please remind them to ask one of the coaches first before going over to you. We would like for our coaches and swimmers to stay focused on the practice plan and not get distracted during practice.

If you haven’t had a chance to meet our coaching staff or would like to know a little more about them, we would like to introduce them to you! They are also wonderful babysitters! Simply ask them (just not during practice  )
