END-OF-SEASON PEP RALLY - ALL WAVE SWIMMERS

As we head into our season-ending Championship meets, we’re bringing the entire Wave community—swimmers and coaches, across all training groups—together for an End-of-Season Pep Rally focused on fun, connection, and team pride.

This is a true all-team event. Swimmers will join Wave coaches for games, team-building activities, and snacks, celebrating the hard work and progress of every training group while building energy and unity heading into our championship stretch.

Event Details
Date: Sunday, February 15, 2026
Time: 3:30 – 4:45 PM
Location: Waunakee High School – Commons (301 Community Drive)

What to Expect

  • Coach-led games & team-building activities
  • All Wave training groups together in one space
  • Snacks provided
  • A fun, high-energy send-off as we prepare for Regional & State Meets

Practice Schedule Adjustments (that evening 2/15)
To accommodate the pep rally, practices that Sunday evening will be adjusted as follows:

  • Senior A/B: 5:00 – 6:00 PM
  • Purple / Ripples / Breakers (make-up only): 5:00–5:30 PM
  • Silver / Bronze (make-up only):
  • Dryland: 5:00–5:30 PM
  • In-water: 5:30–6:00 PM

We strongly encourage all Wave swimmers to attend the event, connect with teammates and coaches, and then head to their adjusted practice, if applicable.

Let’s come together as one Wave Swim Team, build momentum, and finish the season strong!

 

2026 ISCA EAST COAST ELITE SHOWCASE - FAMILY INTEREST SURVEY
As families are already aware, Wave will be attending the 2026 ISCA East Coast Elite Showcase in St. Petersburg, FL (March 31–April 4, 2026). As we move into more detailed planning for meet entries, meet-specific training, and family coordination, we ask that all families who are planning to attend, likely to attend, or still considering participation, complete the interest survey linked below. Completing the survey allows us to better solidify swimmer interest and plan accordingly; it is not a final commitment, and responses may be updated as plans evolve. If this meet is on your family’s radar in any capacity, please complete the survey by February 4.

NEW NEWS

 

SPRING SESSION & MARCH CLINICS - COMING SOON!

Spring Session registration is right around the corner! Look for full details on the Spring Session published next week, along with exciting clinic and training opportunities available to our swimmers in March.

We’ll also be scheduling a new round of New Swimmer Evaluations. If you have a friend, neighbor, or sibling interested in joining Wave this spring, spread the word—more details will be published next week.

WAVE SUPER SPLASH BAKE SALE - SHOW OFF YOUR BAKING SKILLS!

We’re excited to once again host a Wave Super Splash Bake Sale as part of our concessions fundraiser! This is a fun opportunity to share your favorite homemade treats—cookies, bars, breads, or that secret family recipe you’ve been waiting to show off—while helping support the team. Baked goods will be sold alongside concessions throughout the meet, and all proceeds directly benefit Waunakee Wave.

👉 Sign-up to contribute baked goods here.

REMINDERS

 

SUPER SPLASH VOLUNTEER UPDATE - WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to volunteer for Super Splash—we truly appreciate the strong support from our Wave community. As a follow-up, we still have approximately 30 volunteer shifts that need to be filled to ensure the meet runs smoothly for our swimmers and visiting teams.

The following roles still have openings and are critically needed: Meet Marshals, Timers, Hospitality, Check-In, and Event Setup. If you have not yet signed up, please do so as soon as possible. If your family has already met the minimum volunteer requirement and you’re able to help more, we would be incredibly grateful if you’d consider picking up an additional shift. Extra help makes a big difference—and older siblings, grandparents, and extended family members make great volunteers, too!

We are also seeking an additional Announcer to join our hosted-meet dream team. If you’re interested, please contact our Vice President, Patrick, at [email protected] for more information. Not only will your voice fill the aquatic center, this role also satisfies volunteer requirements!

PARENTS AND LOCKER ROOMS

As a reminder, parents are not permitted in the locker rooms during practices and meets in accordance with athlete protection policies. Restrooms for parents, siblings, and other guests are located down the hall. Please wait for your swimmer in the lobby while they change. If any issue arises in the locker room, please notify a coach on-deck—or a lifeguard in the case of an emergency—so it can be addressed promptly.
