EGRA Waves Fall/Winter 2010-2011

What better time to join the EGRA waves swim team than during our 42nd  year?  Our swim club offers opportunities from the beginner to the elite level swimmer.  Through competitive swimming, we teach kids about having fun, dedication, sportsmanship and work ethic.  Many of our swimmers go on to contribute to the high school swim team and other sports.  

 

Swim season runs September 13, 2010 through February 24, 2011 (March for Jr Olympic/State/Sectional swimmers). The Waves offer competitive opportunities for swimmers of all abilities.  We compete in both West Michigan Swim League (WMSL) and USA meets.  All Waves swimmers are registered with USA Swimming.  There is something for swimmers of all abilities. 

Swimmers are placed in one of six levels after an evaluation by our coaches and will practice with swimmers of similar ability.  Practices are held at EGR Community Pool, Wealthy Pool, Michigan Athletic Club and Calvin College (summer only). 

Placement Sessions

All new swimmers should be observed before registration.  Swimmers are assigned by coaches and swimmers can only swim in assigned group.  You do not need to come to both days.  You can come at anytime between 4:30-5:30pm.

September 7&8 @Wealthy Pool 4:30-5:30pm

If you are unable to make these times, please call 460-5630 to set up an evaluation.
