Hello Waves Families,

WAVES. FAMILIES. LISTEN UP. Okay. Deep breath. Because this email is the one where you look at your phone, blink twice, and say out loud: “I cannot believe they actually sent this.” And yet… here we are. Spirit Week is upon us. Divisionals loom. Banquet whispers from the shadows. The calendar is trembling.

We are entering FULL WAVES MAYHEM MODE and honestly, it’s beautiful.

SPIRIT WEEK (Mon July 20 – Fri July 24) - Our second annual Spirit Week begins TOMORROW and it’s five straight days of joyful madness.

• Monday: Water Balloon Funday Monday. Kids will be armed with water balloons and zero hesitation. 
• Tuesday: Tie‑Dye Tuesday Kids will tie‑dye shirts after practice. PLEASE send a tee shirt for your child to tie-dye as we are unable to provide them for every swimmer.
• Wednesday: Big Brekkie Wednesday The legendary super‑power waffle bar returns. Cold Belgian waffles. Toppings. Syrups. Sticky fingers. Breakfast carnage. We need volunteers with waffle‑warrior energy. Signup Calendar - Westridge Waves
• Thursday: Chalk‑the‑Walk + Ripples Mini Meet + Evening Pep Rally We chalk. We cheer. We hype. We rally. Support our Ripples at 10 AM, they are tiny, mighty, and fueled entirely by excitement.
• Friday: Team Poster Day Kids create posters for Divisionals. Glitter, markers, stickers, pure artistic chaos.

LAST SWIMMER BREAKFAST - WEDNESDAY JULY 22 Final breakfast of the season. Waffle bar. Sign up and help us feed the masses. Signup Calendar - Westridge Waves

FINAL RIPPLES MINI MEET - THURSDAY JULY 23 8 & Unders practice with 9/10s from 9:00–10:00 AM, then Ripples Mini Meet at 10 AM. If you can stay and cheer, DO IT. Your cheering is basically rocket fuel for them.

FINAL PEP RALLY - THURSDAY EVENING JULY 23 We need volunteers for set‑up and concessions. It’s the last pep rally of the season, so let’s make it loud, proud, and delightfully unhinged. Signup Calendar - Westridge Waves

DIVISIONALS - SATURDAY JULY 25 Declare your swimmer by Tuesday July 21. No exceptions. 

League reminder: No changes after the entry file deadline. No exhibition entries. No walk‑ups. No "we’re coming after all" on Friday. If they’re not in at the merge, they’re not swimming.

Eligibility:

• Swimmers must attend two dual meets. A relay swim or a DQ counts. Anything but NS.
• Swimmers need one legal time from a league dual meet in any event they’re entered in. No NTs, coach times, invitationals, or time trials.

If you made it to the end of this email, congratulations... you’ve unlocked the Waves Parent Achievement Badge. Thank you for powering through this mega‑update. I know it’s a lot, but this week is HUGE and we want everyone ready.
