The Elgin Blue Wave Master Swim Team is an enthusiastic and eclectic group of adults who swim together.  Our current members range in age from their early twenties through their early eighties. All ages and abilities are welcome. Workouts are tailored to differing ability levels and take place at the Elgin Recreation Center.
