Lake Champlain Waves

Team History and Mission Statement

The History of
The Lake Champlain Waves

In 1989 Dave and Brenda Chevalier took over the coaching duties of the Bay Club Waves located in the Bay Club Athletic Complex on the shores of Lake Champlain. Ten years later in 1999 the swim team moved to the pool at SUNY Plattsburgh and changed their name to the Lake Champlain Waves. Swimming in the North Country of New York is indebted to both Dave and Brenda who through their expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment kept competitive swimming alive for over 17 years. In 2006 the Lake Champlain Waves transitioned from being a coach run swimming team to a team overseen by a parent board of directors. With the support of Adirondack Swimming that transition has gone smoothly.
