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.

Volunteers

Every parent is expected to volunteer time during swim meets.  We need the following volunteer positions at every meet:

Starter/Refree, Stroke & Turn Judge, Place Judges, Clerk of Course, Head Timers, Runners, Scorers, Timers, Announcers, and Snack Bar helpers.

All starters, referees, and stroke and turn officials for League Dual and Championship meets must attend a League Officials Clinic each year to become certified within the League.

 

Donations

 

Every swim team parent is expected to donate something to be sold at the snack shack during home swim meets.  A list of suggestions can be found on the Snack Shack page.  The Snack Shack helps to support the swim team and keeps our fees low.  Please consider donating items throughout the summer.  Our supplies get very low after the swim team ends it’s season. 

 

Fundraising

Each swimmer is expected to participate in at least one fundraiser.
