Schedules & Events

Stay up to date with EGRA Waves practice schedules, swim meets, and key team events. This page serves as the central hub for seasonal information, training schedules, and competition planning for swimmers and families.

Seasonal Updates & Notes

Our fall season starts near Labor Day and runs through our December meet.  Fall is one of the busiest times of year for pool users so we adjust our practices frequently at the high school.  

The Winter season runs from after the December meet through mid-February.  Swimmers who qualify for championship meets continue until their last meet. 

Our spring season starts after spring break and runs until the end of the school year.  Our schedule is based on the EGR school district and pool availability.

Our Summer season starts after school is out and goes until mid to late July depending on the group and meets swimmers qualify for during the season.

Meet Schedule

Our meet schedule is put together to offer opportunities for all of our swimmers. You do not need to attend every meet but are encouraged to show your team spirit by attending several meets throughout the season. 


Your kids will put their skills to the test at swim meets and the coaches are working hard to teach your swimmer about competitive swimming. By not attending the meets, you are missing out on a big part of the learning experience. Besides, no one just goes to soccer practice and then never goes to the game!

  • How Do I Sign Up for a Meet?

    When meet information becomes available, it will be posted in the events section of our website.  You will login to your account and declare your intent to swim.  Please make sure to read the meet information before signing up because some meets only have certain age-groups, there are qualifying times or entry fees are associated with the meet.  If you aren't sure, just contact your swimmer's coach. 


    All meets have entry deadlines.  Deadlines are set so coaches have time to work on the entries  and so we can submit them to the host club by their own deadline.  Many of the invitationals we attend fill up quickly so we have to send in our entries right away.  If you miss the deadline and we have already sent the entries, we will not be able to include them in the meet.  If you catch us before we send the entries, we will try to get them in the meet.  We want kids to swim but we also have deadlines to abide by.


    Coaches will choose all events for swimmers.  Coaches work with the swimmers everyday so they know what they are capable of and coaches also know when to have a swimmer try a new event.  We work hard to make sure swimmers are ready for their events.  There will be a place for you to put comments.
