About Tidal Waves
Tidal Waves is a recreational summer swim team for all youth up to the age of 17.
This is a swim team, not a swim class. Your swimmer will learn and improve throughout the season but should be comfortable in the water and able to swim a recognizable stroke and lap in order to join.
We are based at the Bellevue Memorial Park Pool and swim outdoors Mon-Thurs evenings.
Tidal Waves is part of the North Hills Summer Swim League.

Our season is only 8 weeks and runs from Mid-May to Mid-July.
