Wave has two swimmes currently listed on the World Rankings. Ira Kaplan (age 9) is 27th in the 50 Fl on the World Disability Rankings. Way to go Ira - she is the youngest swimmer on the list by 5 years! Megan Caylor (age 17) is currently 170th on the World Rankings in the 200m Ba! She is the first Wave swimmer to make the rankings in many years. Both rankings are overall rankings not by age group. Way to go girls.
