Here’s how YOU can get started with
WAVES Swimming
Swimmer skill evaluations take just a few
minutes and are held every Monday and Wednesday, between 4:15-5:00
p.m. at Bloomington-Normal YMCA, 602 S. Main St., Bloomington, IL
61701.
What to bring to the Swimmer Evalutation:
- Fill out a WAVES New Swimmer Info form and
hand it to the coach on deck. (Click Forms/Documents tab at top of
page to find the proper form.)
- Swim suit and goggles. If long hair,
we recommend your swimmer wear a swim cap.
If you can’t make our scheduled new
member skill evaluations, please contact us to arrange another day
and time with our coaching staff.
After we see your child in the water, we
will assign him or her to a practice squad with others at a similar
stage of athletic development.
