Changes in WAVE since June 2012 included a stable coaching staff, reduced practice cancellations, holding practices and clinics during breaks, reducing volunteer hour requirements, and increasing roster size from 86 to 145 swimmers. A comparison of WAVE and neighboring teams found that WAVE has significantly lower hourly fees than other teams in the area. To address financial sustainability concerns, WAVE proposed increasing fees across all groups while remaining more affordable than neighbors, increasing family fundraising participation, and exploring new fundraising opportunities to delay fee increases.
