Goodman Pool waves
Join Madison's Newest All-City League Swim Team this summer! The Goodman Pool Waves! The Goodman Pool Waves is a community partnership between the Shelley Glover Sports Education Foundation, The Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman Foundation and Madison Parks.
The Waves welcomes beginning to advanced swimmers, ages 6-18, to the team. Practices will be five days a week, for 90 minutes. With expert coaching your child’s skills will improve, whether they are just starting the sport or a seasoned pro. Your swimmer will make friendships and memories that will last them a lifetime.
The Waves are a competitive team and members will be participating in weekly Saturday swim meets, including the All City Swim Meet. One of the best things about swimming competitively is that in addition to swimming for your team, you are also always swimming against yourself for a better race. Every race is a chance to do your best and break that personal record.
