STAR/OCSC MEET RECAP

What a great first meet of the season! Coaches were blown away by the number of strong swims, good sportsmanship, and application of coach feedback! Swimmers looked more efficient in the water, which is the goal for coaches to see throughout the season. There are several shout outs from this meet!

 

SWIMMERS OF THE MEET

Clara Sydow and Lucy Tygum for being the morning session’s biggest cheerleaders! They were cheering loudly for our team and helping younger swimmers be ready for their events. Thank you, Clara and Lucy!

SWIMMER GEAR DISTRIBUTION

If you HAVE NOT picked up your Wave-issued swim cap and/or tie dye shirt, today is the last scheduled distribution! Final distribution is today, 10/23, from 6:15-7:15pm in the pool lobby. If unable to pick up materials today, please contact the Wave Admin to coordinate a time.

WINTER SESSION REGISTRATION

  • REMINDER: Winter registration opened 10/22 for returning families; group assignments and practice schedule were posted 10/15!

  • Due to TeamUnify limitations, ACH is not a payment option during registration…and we have a workaround! Accounts with current, active ACH payment methods may select the check payment option to trigger a manual ACH charge by the Treasurer (this is just a flag, and checks are NOT actually accepted for payment!)--only current ACH payors are extended this option.

  • Contact Wave Admin with questions!

High school athletes: if your fall HS season ends prior to the start of Wave's winter session, you are welcome to join us for the remaining fall session! Please contact the Wave Admin for prorated registration details!

WAVE FALL CLASSIC | HOSTED MEET NOVEMBER 16 

Volunteer signup is live! We need all hands on deck for a successful meet! Thank you in advance for volunteering!

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

Do you have a business to brag about AND want to support Wave? We are seeking local sponsors for our club! All sponsors receive logo displays on our website and at our hosted meets with special shoutouts from the announcer during hosted meets! Contact the Wave Admin for more information.
