Age 11-up Big Waves on Lake Travis with their coaches
By Coach Trey Kohlhausen, Westwood Aquatics Director
T
he Westwood Waves definitely attacked the competition this season. They finished their summer league season UNDEFEATED in 2022. They were 7 and 0, the Waves got 1,474 best times, had 79 undefeated swimmers, and five pool and team records were set. All Waves enjoyed an exciting celebration of the season at our awards banquet on June 17. After the award presentation and slideshow/ video in Westwood’s dining room, the party moved to the pool area where there was a dunking booth for the swimmers to dunk their coaches, the fun “bouncy house” was out for the swimmers to jump, then the swimmers did a raft race, a greased watermelon race, and a relay where the swimmers put on heavy clothes to swim to the other side and pass off the clothes to the next swimmer. The finale was a Westwood popular, as always, Soda Scramble. What a fantastic celebration
