MSS MEET RECAP
Wave made a 'Splash' at the McFarland Summer Splash meet this past weekend! We had some really great swims, and were able to watch everyone leave the pool with a positive attitude! Coaches were very impressed with the level of motivation everyone had, all the way to the finish. Very impressive Wave Swimmers!
Swimmer of the Meet - Mihika Singh!
You could find Mihika high fiving her competitors after her races, and chatting them up behind the blocks beforehand. All this AND 100% best times! Way to go Mihika, that's definitely showcasing your Wave spirit!

NEW NEWS
The Wave Board is constantly evaluating our coaching and staffing plans with Coach Sandy. Our priority is to ensure the on-deck experience for our swimmers is always ideal, starting with both the quality and quantity of coaches we have with them on-deck at practices and meets.
With that in mind, the WAVE team is happy to announce Board VP Brandon Ward has completed his USA Swimming coaching certifications and will serve as a backup/emergency coach. Beyond his commitment to our team as a Board Member, Brandon has a strong swim background and is strongly qualified to assist our other coaches and swimmers in this expanded capacity.
