Junior wave has zero ties to the DCPR dc wave team. There might be a coach in common. No meets but try out next year!

Thank you! Do you know how many times a week they meet?

Also, while meets are not required, can my son still compete in them?

No. Junior Wave kids are not on the team.

Most likely not because if it’s a non competitive group you/the club aren’t paying USA swimming membership fee so he won’t be eligible. Plus if he is in a lesson type group he’s likely not ready to swim in a meet.

Junior wave is a couple times a week and it’s glorified swim lessons. You need to sign up IMMEDIATELY when signups
open or you won’t get in.

I don’t believe so. As for schedule, believe it is once or twice a week but you should be able to reach out to DPR to confirm. Even the Developmental group only practices twice a week.

Ok thank you! During the tryouts the coaches were all super busy. I was not able to talk to them

Hi! My son (6) did the tryout with DC Wave and was recommended for the Junior Wave program. Can anyone tell me a bit about it?
Schedule?
Location?
What do they teach?
Can he still compete in meets?
Can he start development 1 next season (2026-2027) when he will be 7 or does he need to be 8?

Thank you
