Beginning of the Season Monday, May 9th!
Waverunners!
As we prepare to start a new summer swim season, I wanted to send a quick FAQ email to make sure everyone is prepared and on the same page!!
Questions for Coaches
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your swimmer, please email Coach Jenna ([email protected]) so she can respond to your inquiry thoroughly. While our swimmers are actively in the pool, please do not approach the coaches during practice so that their attention can remain on your swimmers to ensure their safety in the water.
Team Store
Our spirit wear store will be closing tomorrow (Sunday, May 8th) night! Make sure to get your orders in, while this is completely optional we love seeing our Waverunners rep our team year-round!

Swim Suit Store
Our swim suit store will remain open, since it is a self-service store that ships directly to you! Getting a team suit is optional, we just ask that is a team color suit (navy, teal, baby blue). I am aware that when you first access the store, it shows a green suit. Please disregard this, once you click on the appropriate store based on your size, you will see the blue color options. These are TYR suits they are high quality and can last a long time with proper care if you are planning to continue swimming throughout the year.

- Swim cap
- Towel
- Change of clothes in case we need to do some dryland (running) conditioning
- Water/Hydration
- (Please if your child has long hair it will need to be pulled back. Their faces will need to be clear in order to teach proper breathing techniques and have unobstructed vision)
We will be handing out team swim caps and shirts in the coming weeks, please have your own practice swim cap ready to go for Monday.
Meets
Meet dates and locations have been posted on our website, simply use your SwimTopia login to access it. We will release RSVP and volunteer sign ups soon for our first one. I would recommend downloading and using the SwimTopia app to stay on top of everything!
Volunteers
We will need a few more stroke & turn judges and starters. If you have experience with this in the past or are interested please let me know!
Thank you so much for being a part of our swim family, we are excited to see everyone at the pool this week!
