Join the Fun!
Brookside Club of Saratoga is home to the mighty Waves—a swim team of member children ages 4-18. Our goal is to improve the swimmers' athletic condition through aerobic, anaerobic and technique-based training. Participating on the Waves team is a wonderful way to compete in swimming in a fun and social environment. In addition to strengthening your swimmer’s technique and competitive skills, the team gives both members and their children the opportunity socialize with families at Brookside.
Skills required
Children of all skill levels are welcome on the team, however they will need to be able to swim across the pool (25 yards) unassisted by the 2nd week of practice.
Swimmer Commitment
This year there will be 5 dual meets and one championship meet. Swimmers are encouraged to attend as many practices as possible to prepare them for each meet. To attend Championship Swim Meet in July, the swimmer must attend 2 dual meets and swim in at least one race at each dual meet.
Parent participation
Being a part of the Waves involves the whole family. Due to the efforts required to put on a meet, parent involvement is required. Each family selects from a variety of jobs ranging from ribbons, to time keeper or snack bar worker at the meet. Each family also has a committee or member job to help put on fun events during the season.
