Swimming, especially summer swimming, is a parent intensive
sport. Without a great amount of work by the parents of the Wahoos
swimmers, there would not be a Woodcliffe Wahoos Swim Team. In order
to make the summer swim team a safe, fun filled activity, we need as
much parental involvement as possible. There are several opportunities
for parents to get involved. Please support your swimmer(s) and volunteer!
