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.

2010 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, northeast
Oklahoma 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.
