The Wave has consistently placed in the top three in the medium-size clubs in BC Masters rankings--earned by attending and placing at meets.
Our small team placed in the top 10 (SC 25m/LC 50m) in the women's team total points in the Canadian Masters tally for 2004 & 2005 and in 20th SC, 14th LC spots of overall team points, based on rankings of the top 20 swimmers in each event in each of the five year span age groups from 63 meets and 204 Masters club teams in Canada. We also have members who have ranked in the top 10 in the world FINA standings for their age group every year. BUT our main focus is to teach adults to swim better and enjoy the challenge of a good workout.
Are you up for it? Everyone needs to start somewhere and soon! Come join us! Catch the Wave!
