On behalf of Sackville Waves Aquatic Team, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our club; whether you are a returning member or new to the team.

Our club has always prided itself on being a family-oriented club with high expectations of performance and conduct, both in and out of the pool. We are committed to the further development of the sport of swimming as well as the development of our swimmers, coaches, and administrators. This past 2022-2023 season was a rebuilding year at our top levels. I ask each of you to get behind our senior and junior groups and support them. In addition, I’m very excited to see the novice group build on the fundamentals of swimming in order to achieve their desired goals. With the introduction of the successful Tidal Waves program last year, the team has built an excellent group of enthusiastic young swimmers that are eager to get to the pool for every session. This new group helps fill a gap that was between our Mini Waves and Novice groups by providing a space for older swimmers new to the sport.

Yours in swimming,
