On behalf of Sackville Waves Aquatic Team, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our club; whether you are a returning member or new to the team.

Our club has always prided itself on being a family-oriented club with high expectations of performance and conduct, both in and out of the pool. We are committed to the further development of the sport of swimming as well as the development of our swimmers, coaches, and administrators. This past 2023-2024 season resulted in amazing successes across all levels within our club. In addition, I’m very excited that SWAT is rolling out our new website, partnering with PoolQueue (PoolQ) and Stripe. PoolQ is a Canadian webhosting company specializing in team management. PoolQ also allows us to streamline our registration fees by partnering with Stripe. Stripe allows us to accept online payments and set up monthly schedules for our membership.

It is important to remember that clubs like ours are run by volunteers. Therefore, if you can help in any way, please do not hesitate – your helping out will make a big difference!!!

I look forward to another successful year for SWAT and ask all you to get involved in your club.

Yours in swimming,

Kristy Legge
President, Sackville Waves Aquatic Team
