ATTENDANCE POLICY

If your child is going to be absent from practice for ANY reason, please contact Coach Sandy. Inquiries or questions related to the operations of the Club such as billing, system organization or events outside of the pool can be directed to our Wave Admin or the Board. 

SUNDAY MAKE UP PRACTICE

Please email Coach Sandy if you want to sign your swimmer up for the Sunday make up practice. This is a MAKE UP practice and should only be requested if a swimmer misses a regularly scheduled practice due to a conflict. This is NOT meant to supplement or add additional practices for swimmers.

YOUTH NIGHT GIRL’S HIGH SCHOOL SWIM

Come cheer on the Waunakee Girls Swim team, featuring some of our favorite Wave Senior swimmers, at Youth Night on Tuesday, October 1st from 6-8pm. There will be snacks and poster signings after the meet for the youth attendees. And no swim practice means it's a great chance to experience the thrill of high school swimming from the stands! All are welcome!

DRYLAND

This season, we are proudly partnering with Harbor Athletic Club to provide trainor facilitated dryland experiences for our Gold and Senior swimmers ONSITE at the Waunakee High School pool. To support swimmers outside of practice, Harbor is generously giving all Gold and Senior swimmers a Harbor Athletic Club membership. If your swimmer already participated in summer dryland, they can continue to use the same key tag. New swimmers will be given information about sign up at practice.

Additionally, Harbor is offering “member rates” for our Wave swimmers to engage in Harbor personal training sessions outside of practice. Personal Training allows the trainer to focus on individual needs and weaknesses/strengths more than they can with a large group.  Semi-private training (in groups up to four athletes) is a more economical way to experience personal training.  Check out the link for more information on personal training at Harbor.

WAVE TEAM FALL GATHERING
Mark your calendar for a Wave fall gathering on Friday, October 4th in the early evening. We are still solidifying details but want you to save the date for some kid and adult fun as we kick off the season together. 

SCHEDULE CHANGE FOR BREAKERS ONLY

After a great launch to our fall season, we’ve only had to make one small adjustment to our practice schedule. Thursday Breakers will NOW swim 7-8pm (formerly 6-7pm) beginning NEXT week on September 26th. This is the ONLY change to our schedule.
