The Peak Waves ~ A USA Swim Club

The Peak Waves Swim Team is owned and run by the Peak Health & Wellness Center. Helen Houlihan is the Head Coach and consultant for our coaches, parents, and swimmers. Our entire staff assist with the planning, directing, overseeing, and evaluating the workouts and all the activities of swimmers from practices to swim meets.

Mini Waves

Mini Waves are the developmental aspect of our Waves Swim Team. The Mini Waves program is designed for ages 4-9 years old with no prior swim team experience. The Mini Waves allow potential up and coming swim team members a chance to get acquainted with the challenges of competitive swimming, while working on stroke technique, endurance, drills, and skills for personal improvement.

The Mini Waves are encouraged to compete in the monthly Peak Swim Meets. The meets are held the last week of each month in the evenings and there is a very small charge for each swimmer.

Mini Waves must be able to swim the length of our Peak Rec Pool and have the basic skills of swimming the freestyle and backstroke.
