Bradley Farm Wave

The Bradley Farm Wave swim team is open to residents of the Bradley Farm and Emerald Chase Homeowners Associations. Swim team participants whose accounts are not in good standing with their respective homeowners association may not be allowed to participate in swim team activities and events until their accounts are brought into compliance. If the swim team determines that a participants homeowners association account is not in good standing as of June 9th, the swim team may elect to refund their registration fees, less any credit card transaction fees.

The minimum age to participate on the swim team is 4 years old, and swimmers that compete will be assigned to age groups based on their actual age on the day of the first swim meet. If you have questions or concerns about your child's ability to participate, please speak to a team representative or coach.

The number of registrations accepted for the Junior Wave program may be limited based on staffing availability each season. These staffing requirements help ensure the safety of our swimmers and the quality of our instructional programs.

Registration forms and all appliable fees must be received by the swim team before swimmers will be permitted to attend practices or swim meets.

If you decide to withdraw your child from the swim team during the first two weeks of the season, you can request a refund of your registration fees. For the 2025 season, registration fees will be non-refundable beginning June 10, 2025. Please email [email protected] or contact your team representative no later than June 9^th if you would like to withdraw your child from the team and request a refund.
