Bent Tree West 2008 WAVE Swim Team General Information

Welcome to the WAVES Swim Team!  Swim team season began 6/5/08 with local meets and ended on 7/21/08 with the Championship All Star Meet,

Eligible swimmers are ages 5-17, members of the Bent Tree West Swim and Tennis Club, and are capable of swimming the length of our pool without assistance. As a member of the WAVE swim team, each swimmer learns all strokes, starts, and finishes in both individual events and relay teams. The WAVE competes in DASA (Dallas Amateur Swim Association), which consists of 32 teams and clubs in the Dallas area. The DASA league is a fun way for young swimmers to be introduced to the wonderful world of competitive swimming. What better way to combine exercise and fun with new friends and old ones!

For those swimmers who want to get exercise and socialize with their friends without competing in the meets, there is an option not to swim the meets but still enjoy our annual Spaghetti Dinner, parties and events. We do require that a parent or caregiver volunteer in some easy capacity at each swim meet.
