Fall Clinic for the Waves Swim Team
September 5, 2023 – October 22, 2023
Non-competitive Team/Skill Building Season
There WILL BE practice on Monday, September 25, Yom Kippur, and Monday, October 9, Indigenous Peoples Day.
Swimmers must still meet the minimum skill requirements for the team, and therefore any swimmer who has never been a part of a competitive swim team before must have a swim evaluation completed by the Director/Head Coach prior to registration. Please contact
Sue Morse at SusanMorse@waysideathleticclub.com to schedule this evaluation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During this 7-week period, swimmers will work through each of the strokes, starts, finishes, as well as turns necessary for their age-group races. This will be slow, methodical, and rewarding work for both the swimmers and the coaches. We will build strength, technique, and skill while growing friendships, team spirit, and the fun of the sport of swimming.
This is an excellent time to try on the swim team to see if you like it. The session is short, just 15-16 practices, twice per week. COME ON… Try us out! I guarantee we will like you!
THERE WILL BE NO PRACTICE MAKE-UPS FOR SWIMMERS MISSING DUE TO ILLNESS, FAMILY TRAVEL, OR OTHER PERSONAL REASONS.
If the Club has to cancel a practice due to thunderstorms, severe weather, or other facility issues, We will make every effort to accommodate the swimmers into one of the existing practices. Failing this, we will give credit to your Wayside Account to use on future programs. No credit card refunds will occur.
SPECIAL FALL CLINIC ONLY – AGE & SKILL REQUIREMENT (ages 11-18)
Ages 11-18: must be able to swim at least 2 lengths of the pool (50 yards) in both the Freestyle (Front Crawl) and the Backstroke, as well as have a basic understanding (though not perfection) of both Breaststroke and Butterfly, diving from a Diving Block and turns for all four competitive strokes. This group of ages is then broken down into 2 practice groups.
The Intermediate Group (ages 11-14): These practices are suitable for the beginning competitive swimmer in the older age group as well as those who have just transitioned up age groups into the higher competition group. We will break each stroke down and then build them back up through drills and slower sets in order to build skills, knowledge, and techniques.
The Advanced Group (Ages 12-18): BY HEAD COACH INVITATION ONLY These swimmers must be competent in all 4 competitive strokes as well as their turns. This group will have the more challenging workouts planned. Swimmers must be invited into this group by the Head Coach, Sue Morse.
Please contact the Director, Sue Morse, if there is a question as to which group to place your swimmer in. Swimmers must practice with their age group unless permission has been granted by the Director, Sue Morse. Lane assignments are determined by skill. Certain consideration may be given for the 11-18 age group due to siblings and schedules (please contact the Director before registering if there is any question).

Swimmers must practice with their age group. Lane assignments are determined by skill.
Particular consideration may be given for the 11-18 age group due to siblings and schedules (please contact me before registering if there is any question), however, the idea here is to help our high school swimmers prepare for their winter season which begins after Thanksgiving.
