January Challenge Recap Our first Challenge meet of 2014 we had over 200 Wave swimmers participate in the meet.

One quick performance of note: Josh Pak set a new 8 & Under Boys Team Record in the 50 Back at 40.95. Great work Josh!   Each coach chose their favorite race or overall performance from each group with a quick note as to why:...

Fall Divisional Meet Recap   The December 7-8 weekend Wave had 150 swimmers signed up to compete at the Fall Divisional meet at the Hazen High School pool. All in total there were 530 entered swimmers into the meet making for pretty crowded conditions both in and out of the pool.   In spite of that we had a large number of swimmers who had some great races and made some big leaps forward showing what kind of work they have been doing at practice.      The meet was...

At this meet, had many best time swims that were very impressive. Swims that were exciting to watch, and the results were exciting because we...
