VIRGINIA HILLS TIDAL WAVE
1961-2026
Proud member of the Northern Virginia Swimming League (NVSL)
Celebrating 65 Years of Speed, Spirit, and Swim Family!
Swim Fast. Cheer Loud. Have Fun.
Swim Team, especially the Tidal Wave, is a one-of-a-kind summer experience that brings children and teens (and parents) of all ages together to have fun; improve skills, endurance, and confidence in the water; and enjoy the community of a great team sport.
Swimmers of all abilities are valued equally by coaches and teammates alike. Big teens encourage little kids. High fives and cheers are plentiful on the pool deck across the ages. From the slowest rookie to the fastest swimmer, everyone is an important part of the Mighty Tidal Wave. And because of that spirit, PRs are common place and every tenth of a second is celebrated!
So hop on in. There’s something special in our Virginia Hills water. Come be a part of the Tidal Wave swim family.
