WAVES Families

Can't get enough swimming? Then consider swimming at the upcoming County Meet (aka Patti Wilder Meet)

• July 10-11th @ Mountain View Aquatic Center
• July 10th - Age 11 & up - prelim/finals
• July 11th - Age 5 - 10 - prelim/finals except for 5&6's who swim finals only in the morning

What is a prelim/finals meet?  Your swimmer swims all of their individual events in the morning. If your child has fast enough times that they place in the top ten in their event, they come back at night to swim in finals. Top 3 fastest swimmers at night are eligible to represent Cobb County at the State swim meet 7/24-7/25. The 5&6 year olds do not participate in the State meet.

Swimmers can enter into 2 individual events. If we have enough kids in same age group we can enter a relay.

• Cost $5 per individual event
• Plus $10 per swimmer to cover coach fees

New this year - the county is requiring us to turn in a copy of your swimmers birth certificate when we register the swimmer for this meet. This is used to verify age and also to have on file if your child places in top 3 and will swim at the State meet.

DEADLINE to get your swimmer's entries, birth certificate and payment to Angie Franklin no later than this Friday June 26th - If you have questions, email Angie at

If you are not sure what events your swimmer should swim, contact Coach Cassie or Coach Katy who can research your swimmers times and give you recommendations. There is a time cut requirement for ages 5-8 yr olds - they must be able to swim 25 free or 25 back in under 60 seconds.

BTW - This meet is for Cobb County residents only. If you are a resident of Cherokee County, there is a separate meet. If you are registered on a Cobb County summer league team (Chatsworth) then you have to petition to swim at the Cherokee meet. If you are in this situation, you need to contact Peter Conrady immediately - [email protected]
