Welcome to the 2023 Woodlands Wave!
Welcome to the 2023 Woodlands Wave Swim Team!
We had an overwhelming amount of interest this year and are full in ALL age groups except 13-18 boys. So if you know of anyone, please send them my way!
We are less that a month away from swim team starting so wanted to send some information out and ask you to mark on your calendars with some important dates. I know that this is a long email, but I just want to make sure everyone has the information to have a successful season.
We are super excited to announce our coaches this year!
Carter McDonald will be our head coach this year. He has been a part of the Wave for the past 12 years. He will be a familiar face to many of those who have been on the team in the past. I am confident that he will do an amazing job with all the kids. Here is a link to find out all the coaches this summer! Meet the Coaches
