Winter Competitive Season
October 27, 2024 – March 15, 2025
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is a long-season combination of practices (filled with friends, fun. and hard work) and weekend meets sprinkled throughout the season (Usually 8 single-day meets that last no more than 4 hours – most done in less than 3 hours).
Wayside Waves take part in the Metro Swim League for the winter months. This league is made up of 10 area recreational, age-group swim teams. No USA Swimmers are allowed to swim for points on any team in this recreational league at this time. Swimmers are required to compete in 5 of the 8 dual meets during the season. The League hosts a Championship Meet at Boston University in March of 2025. We will have a team party after the team champs. Date to be announced.
The League will be holding a coaches’ meeting soon to determine meets for the calendar. Information will be sent as soon as we have it.
A swimmer’s age for this season is the age they are on November 1, 2024
Swimmers must still meet the minimum skill requirements for the team, 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.
