Swimmers in more competitive groups will be encouraged to attend more practice sessions.

Wave Practice (Sept-May):

The Campbell Wave non-competitive swimming team is open to ages 5-17 years. Enrollment is ongoing and practices are held year-round, Monday through Friday, and are divided by age and swim level. Swimmers should attend at least three (3) practices per week to see improvement in both endurance and stroke technique. Swimmers in Wave 3 & 4 will be encouraged to attend more practice sessions. All Wave Swimmers pay an additional $70 Materials Fee once per year. Please note this is not a Learn-To-Swim program but is a Swim Team.

Wave Clinic (June-Aug):  

This summer, in lieu of the Wave practice held September through May, we are offering Wave Clinic! The Wave Clinic will run Wednesday through Friday each week, and will provide swimmers with instruction to improve endurance, interval timing, and stroke technique. Our clinic will allow your swimmer to test their swimming ability, both physically and mentally, in addition to improving their distance swimming. A tryout and skills test are required to determine the appropriate group placement. Please contact Liz Simonovich at 408.866.2160 or elisabeths@campbellca.gov.
