2022 CHADDS WALK TIDAL WAVES SWIM TEAM REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN 

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER 

We will have swimsuit try on/pickup on Sunday, April 24th 2pm-4pm at the Edgemere Clubhouse. Registration payments can be made by credit card via registration link, or checks may be made payable to Chadds Walk Tidal Waves and delivered to Bonnie Willi at 2139 Spindrift Ct. 

Registration Deadline is April 30, 2022. The 2022 summer swim season is just around the corner and we are excited to finally welcome all of our returning and new swimmers! Here is some important information on fees, dates, and how we run our team.

The Chadds Walk Tidal Waves Swim Team is a Cobb County Summer Swim League (CCSSL) team open to children ages 5-18 (as of 5/31/22). Registration fees are per child and include ribbons, a team medal, instruction, and participation in five league meets. The team is self-sufficient and relies primarily on parent participation. All programs are funded from registration fees and concession profits. We are happy to once again offer a night practice option for kids who are unavailable during the day. Just like previous years, you will register for either morning practice or night practice and cannot switch between them. Participating in swim team gives your child an excellent opportunity to build endurance, get more comfortable in the water, and be part of a fun, supportive team! It is also a great value for an activity that is daily for 6 weeks. Please remember that swim team is different from private swim lessons. The ratio of swimmers to instructor is much higher and it is not possible to offer as much individual instruction on swim team. 

Parent Participation

Our swim team relies entirely on parent participation in order to have successful swim meets. Each family needs a representative to volunteer for one shift for each swim meet in which your child is participating. We will be sending out those meet shift sign-ups in the next two weeks, and also need some lead volunteer in concessions, ribbons, event announcing, and meet coordination. High school students in search of community volunteer hours may also help the swim team to accrue those hours – just reach out to chaddswalktidalwaves@gmail.com if you can help with any of the above. We quite simply cannot run the team without additional help!

Practice Schedule

Practices will be held Monday through Friday, rain or shine – we ONLY cancel if there is thunder. If practice is canceled, we will send an email, post a message in our Facebook group & notify via Swimtopia app. Otherwise, assume practice is on.
