Surfs Up! The Waves are Calling 

Great news for the Countryside Waves swim team:  This year we will be blessed with 2 head coaches.  Coach Katie Endres has agreed to return for her second year as Waves Co-Head Coach.  Katie swam for the Waves for many years and was an assistant coach for the Waves before accepting the Head Coach Challenge.  Katie will be joined by Co-Head Coach Reina Mason. Reina swam for Sugarland Run for many years, as well as Potomac Falls High School.  She coached for Cascades last summer, and currently coaches for Snow Swimming and Briar Woods High School.  Many of our Waves have been coached by her over the last few years with Snow Swimming.

Our registration dates are May 3, from 10:00 - 12:00 and May 10, from 2:00 - 4:00.  We will have the new swimsuits, spirit wear, goggles, and swim fins for sale.  We will also have the volunteer sign-up forms.  We need all parents of swimmers to volunteer for the Waves to help us make this the best swim year ever.  This year we have the honor of hosting the Colonial Swimming League Divisional Playoffs!  It will be a great opportunity to show off our community and Waves team.

Summer is rapidly approaching. You know what that means? SWIM LESSONS are back!

We hope to meet you at the 8^th Annual Pool Safety Picnic at Lindenwood on May 17th.  Teaching our children to swim is one of the ways we can assure a safer swim season. Below is a schedule of class offerings for the season.  We look forward to meeting all of you and we invite you to participate!

The last day of school for Loudoun County is June 17^th. There will be pre-school lessons prior to June 17^th followed by a series of regular season classes for all school-age children.

Enrollment in swim lessons requires that you be a member in good standing; therefore, you must register for your lessons at the CountrySide Proprietary office. To register for lessons simply come by the Proprietary office, sign up, and pay for the lessons in which you want your children to participate. The Proprietary will collect the fees for the lessons according to the cost schedule described below, and issue you a receipt. They will provide us with a list of all the swimmers that have signed up for the lessons.
