Swimmers must swim on the team in the neighborhood where they reside unless they have prior and continuous membership on a team outside their current district. If a swimmer does not live in a CA neighborhood, they will be placed on a team based on their elementary school district. Siblings will not be split across different teams. The Waves pull membership from the Dickinson and MacGills Common neighborhoods and the Atholton, Bushy Park, Fulton, Guilford, Hammond, Lisbon, and West Friendship school districts.

Swimmer Eligibility

Swimmers need to be able to swim at least one length of the pool on their front and back at the 8 & under age group and a slightly better skill level progressively in the older age groups.
Age as of June 1, 2009, determines the age group for competition throughout the summer season. Any questions can be sent to the KC Waves Team Manager.
