About Us
The Tidal Waves Swim Team (“Tidal Waves”) is a 501(C)3 private, not-for-profit recreational summer swim team based in Block House Creek Neighborhood and has served the greater Leander/Cedar Park communities for more than 20 years..
We are a part of the Northwest Swim Circuit (NWSC) which is a league of 13 independent swim teams in four divisions with swimmers ranging in age from 4–17 years. For additional information on the NWSC please refer to the following URL: https://nwsc.swimtopia.com/
The Tidal Waves was formed in 2001 and has grown to approximately 240 swimmers who compete each summer. Our team is open to qualifying aged swimmers (age as of May 1st) who are able to pass the minimum ability requirements (eligibility requirements are further detailed herein). The team is operated by an elected board of directors.
Tidal Wave practices occur in the evening at the beginning of the season when school is still in session and during morning hours after school is out. Additional details regarding practice and meet schedules may be located by exploring this website. The Northwest Swim Circuit requires that swim team parents complete volunteer shifts during the season in order for their swimmer to be eligible to participate in the meets and to help us run a successful meet.
Membership is open to anyone, though non-residents of the Block House Creek neighborhood will be assessed a pool usage fee upon registration.

The Tidal Waves Swim Team belongs to the Northwest Swim Circuit (NWSC) of Austin, Texas. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, our Swim Team Board is comprised entirely of parent volunteers who work year-round to prepare for each season, and our summer seasons would not be possible without the full participation of our parents in running our weekly swim meets. We are also thankful for the support we receive from the broader community, especially from our local sponsors.
