Trying out for Wave​

If you are interested in trying out for the Wave Swim Team, please email Head Coach Samuel Bowman at [email protected] and Coach Nicole at [email protected].  

We are no longer accepting any swimmers for the Fall/Winter Short Course Swim Season but you can try out for the Spring/Summer Season by emailing both Coach Sam and Coach Nicole about Spring/Summer swim team try-outs. 

You only have to bring your swimmer to one day of tryouts!
 
We ask that you email Nicole and Sam with your child's name, age, ability and what date works best for you to bring them.  Please copy BOTH our email addresses: [email protected]  [email protected]

Wednesday, April 29th 4:30pm - 5pm at Houser in Onalaska

LET US know what day works best for you!
 
Our long course season will run May 3rd, 2026 to July 31st, 2026. We hope you can make tryouts this year!  

There are limited spots available with a large returning athlete total. Swimmers must show a desire to swim and listen to our coaches.  What we look for in your swimmer will depend on their age and level that they would be assigned to for practice all season long.  Swimmers must be able to swim at least 25 yards non-stop swimming freestyle with rotary breathing and non-stop 25 yards backstroke.  They must have a concept of breaststroke and butterfly and be able to dive from the deep end side of the pool as well as somersault for a flipturn.  

Thank you for your interest in the WAVE SWIM TEAM!
