The Branson Waves Swim Team is a summer program designed to offer a competitive swimming experience to boys and girls ages 5 to 18.   The team is parent driven on a volunteer basis and is funded by the City of Branson Parks & Recreation Department. Click here to download the 2008 Parent Handbook

All youth must be able to swim the length of the pool (25 yards) on their own to be eligible to participate on the team.  Practices begin in May after school and continue Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 9:30am after school concludes.  

The Branson Waves participates in the Tri-State Swim Conference, which is composed of various summer and year-round teams from southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas and southeast Kansas.

      Our goals for our swimmers:

  • Become better swimmers by improving strokes and endurance

  • Increase knowledge of swimming

  • Grow through physical and mental discipline

  • Develop a sense of team-work among their peers

  • Build self-confidence by achieving personal goals, such as bettering individual times rather than just racing against others

  • Having fun and making new friends

    Our Purpose
    Participating in the swim team provides an opportunity for kids to become better swimmers by improving strokes and endurance, to increase their knowledge of swimming, and to meet new friends and have fun.  Swimming in meets builds confidence, as well as self gratification in kids.  It's the cleanest sport there is.

    Emphasis
    Our staff concentrates on four things: Building character and self-confidence... Teaching physical fitness through swimming.... Teaching swimming strokes and endurance.... Building organizational skills- working together and getting along with one another.  We do not push winning as individuals or as a team.  We encourage our kids to beat their own times- swim faster than the last time.
