Wedgewood Swim Club

Swim Team— Wedgewood Waves!

The Wedgewood Waves Swim Team is a part of the Suburban Swim League.  We are always looking for new members!  Coached by an outstanding staff, the team competes in 8 swim meets.  All swimmers must have a paid swim club membership.  Swimmers of all levels are encouraged to join.  There is no minimum age to join however swimmers need to be able to stay afloat and “swim” one lap to the best of their ability.  Our excellent coaches can help every child to improve their swimming abilities.  The maximum age is 18.  The age groups are 6 & under (with limited events),8 & Under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-18.  Your age group is determined by the age you are as of May 30th of the current year.
