The Atlanta Classic and Sprint Classic at GA Tech over the weekend gave Tidal Wave swimmers the chance to rub shoulders with some of the nation’s best swimmers, as well as throwing down some great swims of their own. The nearly hour long fire alarm delay on Sunday did not limit team members from setting five new team records, racing in the same heat as Katie Ledecky, or dropping huge amounts of time! Congratulations to Isabella Klinefelter for breaking team records in the senior girls 50 (26.90), 100 (57.40), and...

The long course season is underway, and based on the first meet, Tidal Wave is going to enjoy quite a summer! Maybe swimming short course meters throughout the winter eased the transition to long course. Maybe descent weather outside helped the environment inside Mountain View. Whatever factors added up, Tidal Wave swimmers took full advantage of the racing opportunities at the Rays LC Invite over the weekend and produced some very fast swims. Harper Sampieri earned a new yellow cap, achieving a AAAA time in the 9-10 100 butterly (1:17.59)!!!...

Tidal Wave swimmers competed for the first time in 2024 at the Coaches Invite over the weekend. With age groups designated as 12 & under and 13 & over, it was, at times, hard to notice some incredible swims. George Chernev put in some great work, breaking four (4) 9-10 boys team records!!! George reset his own butterfly records: 30.00 in the 50 and 1:08.12 in the 100. He added new records in the 200 free (2:16.01) and 200 IM (2:33.71)!
