Waverunners!

We are a month away from our season kicking off! We want to welcome everyone to the 2025 Waterton Waverunners, a proud member of the GCSL for 41 seasons! I will begin a weekly email newsletter for you to stay in the know of what you need to attend, prepare for, and volunteer for :).

Team Meet & Greet/Swim Suit Fitting:

First item for everyone to put in their calendars is our team meet & great and swim suit fitting. This will be on Wednesday, 04/23 from 6-8 PM for the fitting and 7 PM for a quick Q&A meeting and a chance to meet our coaches. 

This will be at our pool, 1235 Lakeridge Ct, Grayson, GA 30017

Our team swim suit is optional but a nice way to show team spirit at swim meets and have a reliable suit for swim meets. You will be able to order this online after the team meeting.

We understand that you may not be able to attend but highly encourage you to if possible!

• 2-3 practice swim caps - must wear at all times in the pool
• Practice swim suit (not a play suit, but a competition suit) on to swim in and a back up pair - must wear at all times in the pool
• Multiple towels
• Hydration items (water/gatorade)
• Snacks (kids burn a lot of calories!)

We will cover these items at our meeting as well

I will include some common FAQ items in our next email, this is a good bit to start with :). Looking forward to seeing everyone next week!
