History of the Cumming Waves

The Cumming Waves Swim Team was created as a competitive summer swim team for the City of Cumming, Georgia in 1977 by David Ellwanger. Mr. Ellwanger was a Masters Swimmer. Masters Swimming is a successful blend of fitness and competitive swimming. The regular structured workouts use techniques of interval training in an atmosphere of fun, fitness, friendship and participation!

In 1978, David Horton took over the team. He was joined by his wife Nancy Horton in 1979. The Horton’s ran a fun, competitive summer swim team for nearly two decades through 1997. A few other coaches took over the team, including John Newcomer through 2001.

In 2001 Kris Hunt began coaching the Waves.
Coach Kris has a philosophy which is unbeatable and is extremely nurturing. Coach Kris believes in hard work and stroke basics, which means The Waves win meets. The Waves won the North Georgia Swim League (NGSL) Title seven (7) years in a row.

In the fall of 2011 the Waves became year round USA Swim Team. Coach Teresa Coan was chosen to run the team.
