Welcome

Maureen Kamischke, Sue Monthie and Kris Woodson are the Team Managers. We are glad that you have chosen to spend part of your summer with the Kings Contrivance Swim Team. If you are new to our swim team, we welcome you to a great group of families dedicated to the enjoyment of watching their children improve their swimming skills over the next eight weeks. If you are a returning family, we welcome you back to another fun and rewarding swim season.

The Kings Contrivance Swim Team is member of the Columbia Neighborhood Swim League (CNSL) sponsored by the Columbia Association. Better known as the KC Waves, the team works with the league to promote stronger, safer swimmers and to give swimmers a chance to test their performance in an atmosphere of fun and good sportsmanship. The purpose of the CNSL is to develop stronger, safer swimmers, provide a neighborhood athletic activity, introduce children to competitive swimming and provide this activity in a wholesome setting. Primarily an instructional league, the CNSL promotes the development of strong character, positive attitudes and a sense of responsibility.

The Weekly Wave will be emailed and posted on-line online unless requested to be distributed in your very own folder in the team mail box. The mail boxes will be available at Macgills Common pool only. Check your mail box for notices, ribbons, etc. The mail box will also contain the Team Registry. The Team Registry will contain volunteer sign up sheets for each meet, absentee sign up sheets for each meet and other information. General information and the weekly updates will also be available right here on our new KC Waves web site. There is a bulletin board at each pool that will have postings. Check it out when you are at the pool. If you provide us with your e-mail address, we will receive you information via broadcast e-mail. You are encouraged to talk with the coaches after practice, or set up a time that is convenient for everyone. Please refrain from talking to the coaches while they are running practice or busy at a meet. Feel free to contact the team managers at any time.
