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 Hortons 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 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.
The Cumming Waves purpose is to provide a structured summer athletic
activity for the children of our community. The Wave’s provide
opportunities for each participant to develop a positive self image.
Opportunities are provided to participate in competitive swimming
through venues of Dual meets, North Georgia Swim League (NGSL) meets
and Georgia Recreation and Parks Association (GRPA) meets.
The waves have and will continue to build a fun, winning competitive
swim team.
Go Waves!
