About

Team History

The Tidalwaves Swim Team was established in 1970. It is sponsored by the Larkspur Recreation Department, run by parent volunteers, and is a non-profit club, open to all swimmers ages 5 through 18 years. Our team is a member of the Marin Swim League, formed in 1962 to offer a local alternative to the more demanding USS League. There are currently 10 teams in our league. Meets run on Saturday mornings from mid-May through July.  (Meet schedule)

The Tidalwaves Swim team is dedicated to developing self-esteem, good swimming skills, sportsmanship and team spirit, as well as individual achievement. We love to have fun, both in and out of the water! Our team’s success depends on the commitment and active participation of the swimmers, the parents and the coaching staff. The benefits gained from swimming are not only great physical training, but swimming also promotes good socialization opportunities, individual responsibility, and team dedication.

There are team activities including a pizza/cheer night, a picnic, a team trip to a water park, a pool party, 4th of July Parade Float and (for the kids 14 and over) a camping trip. 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! (Event schedule)
