What a way to kick off the 2026/27 season! A huge thank you to every player and family who came down for our preseason benchmarking and trials across all our junior age groups. The energy in and out of the pool was fantastic, and it was brilliant to see so many familiar faces back — along with plenty of new ones giving it a crack.
From our 12s through to our 18s, players put their best foot forward and gave our coaches a great look at where everyone's at heading into the new season. Benchmarking gives every player a clear starting point to build from, and the trials gave those chasing an A Grade spot the chance to show what they can do.
Thank You to Everyone Involved
Events like this simply don't happen without our incredible community. A big thank you to our coaches and committee for running the sessions, to the parents and volunteers who helped on the day, and most of all to the players for bringing the effort and the good vibes. This is what New Wave is all about.
