Who are the Wavemakers?

The Wavemakers swim team is open to swimmers ages 5-18. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to join!  For safety reasons, we ask that members can swim at least one length of the pool in any fashion.  Our team has so much fun learning the sport of swimming, bonding with teammates of all ages, and cheering each other on.  We kick-off our season with a “Meet the Coaches” event at the pool on May 18th.  We will have more information on this event soon but weather permitting, the team is invited to participate in a special free swim following a brief meeting.  We are a member of the Tri-County Swim League, one of the oldest and largest swim leagues in the Cincinnati area.  Most of our coaches are past or present Wavemaker's swimmers themselves.

What does swim team entail?

Starting May 19th practice is offered Monday-Friday after school, transitioning to morning practice after Memorial Day.   Practice is a time for swimmers to learn the strokes, starts, turns, and perfect their technique, strength and speed.  Attending as many practices per week as possible is encouraged.  Our weekly meets are generally held on Tuesday evenings (schedule posted on the website). There are also 2 optional invitationals. Championships will be held over 2 days on July 18-19, 2025.  All swimmers are encouraged to participate in the fun and excitement of invitationals and championships.

Parents are required to volunteer at meets as part of team membership (or be charged $50 per unworked credit hour at the end of the season).  The number of credit hours required is determined at the start of each season based on the size of our swim team. Most opportunities for volunteering require no experience.  Officiating, however, requires certification and the team is always looking for parents to assist as officials.  Please contact us if you are interested.

When can swimmers register?

Registration will be opening on April 6, 2025.  Families can register early and save money! The early registration price of $165 will be offered from April 6 - April 20.  On April 21 the price will increase to $175. ALL registered swimmers will receive a new latex swim cap with the updated LH Wavemakers logo. Silicone caps with a personalized name can be purchased during registration. Registration will close on May 9.
