Tidalwaves Swim Team, one of ten in the summer recreational Marin Swim League, provides great fun and fitness through a season that runs from early March through the middle of July. Tidalwaves is sponsored by the Larkspur Recreation Department, and is a non-profit club, open to all swimmers ages 5 through 18 years.



Tidalwaves offers afternoon/early evening workouts Monday through Friday throughout the season at Redwood High School. Swimmers are placed in practice groups according to swimming ability; they must demonstrate basic proficiency in the freestyle stroke, and be able to comfortably swim 25 yards.*


Participation requires parent volunteer support for organization and running the meets. All practices are run by professional coaches. Spirit events throughout the season and a focus on individual improvement help make Tidalwaves a positive social and athletic experience for all swimmers. The Awards Banquet at the end of the season is a celebration for all who participated in our swim season – a highlight for all the swimmers!

During the season new information is posted almost daily, so please check this website often, or sign up for our Twitter feed to receive text updates to your mobile device.

*For swimmers that are not quite ready to swim in a 25 yd. pool, Coach Marie has a  great Tadpole program that is very popular and effective for teaching beginning swimmers. Contact Coach Marie for more information.  Tadpole Registration Form and information
available (here).
