Welcome to the Woodlands Wave Swim Team!
We have closed registration as we are FULL! The only exceptions are if you know of a 15-18 y/o boy, we still need a few of those.
We are super excited about this upcoming year. This email has ALOT of information in it and I recommend you save this somewhere to reference.
Myself (Megan Ray) & Val McFall are the coordinators for the Wave. We will be your main contacts. If you need anything or have any questions, please don't hesitate to text or email. Our contact information is at the bottom of this email.

Reminders:
- Practices are Mon, Tues, Wed & Thurs - See Schedule for your child's scheduled time.
- Fun Fridays are May 30, June 6,13, 20 from 9-10a. Donuts, Ribbons & Fun. This is not mandatory. It is a time for the kiddos to be proud of their accomplishments from the meet the day before and have some fun with their coaches and teammates. This is NOT a structured practice.
- Meets are on Thursdays EXCEPT last meet is a Tuesday starting May 30
- If you are not going to attend practice one day - you do not need to notify anyone. This is a super relaxed program. BUT I do want to tell you, your swimmer will get out of it what they put into it. The more practices the better they will get.

Merch/Suit Ordering
- Link to Order
- Orders must be placed by May 4th in order to receive in time of 1st meet and receive FREE shipping. Orders after that are not guaranteed in time.
- If you were not able to try suits on, I recommend going to All American Swim in Roswell and trying on a nike racing suit to know what size to order.
- PARENT T-SHIRTS: If you want to purchase the 2025 Woodlands Wave T-shirt, please do so on the link above. Remember your swimmer will receive a shirt (it was part of registration) so you do not need to order them one unless you want an extra. You must order by May 4th as well.
Agenda of New Parent Meeting (April 28th at 6p)
Practice Schedule
- Link to Practice Schedule
- Girls need to have 1 piece bathing suits on for practice.
- Please make sure hair is pulled back if you are not wearing a cap.
- We do not recommend swim shirts because they slow swimmers down BUT if your swimmer is not comfortable please make sure they are in a swim shirt and not a regular t-shirt.
- Please purchase good googles (and a few pairs wont hurt). Speedo, TYR are usually solid choices that will last (if kids dont lose them :)). ALL swimmers need to have googles on. Sams & Costco usually have a good price on 3 packs so check that out or amazon for good deals.
Volunteering
- Link to Descriptions of Volunteer Spots
- By registering for swim team, you agreed to volunteer in 5 sessions. Your family MUST volunteer. You can break it up however you like. There are 2 sessions per meet so you have 10 opportunities to volunteer.
- We will open up Volunteer spots for the meet the FRIDAY before the meet at 8a
