The Overland Park Waves Swim and Dive team is a recreational team for any child, 6-18, who wants to become a better swimmer.
The team provides coaching for two levels of swimmers: pre-competitive and competitive; and for divers. These teams should not be thought of as swim lessons, but rather as an opportunity to increase overall performance through hard work and practice.
The Waves summer program runs smoothly with the help of parent volunteers.
Registration for swim/dive team opens April 3.
The first day of swim practice for the season will be Tuesday, May 30.
The first day of dive practice for the season will be Thursday, June 1.
All teams practice daily, Monday-Friday, during the swim season.

This team is for 6-11 year olds who can swim 25 meters but less than 50 meters without stopping. Pre-competitive swimmers may participate in four meets per season. During the meets, pre-competitive swimmers may swim in all events, and they will receive a ribbon for participation.
This team is for those who can swim 50 meters using freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly or backstroke without stopping. The swimmer should have average or above average proficiency. Swimmers must be willing to practice at least three times per week; attending five days a week would increase their conditioning.
The diving program is open to beginners as well as advanced divers.
Residents: $150
Non-residents: $160
