Tongie Tidal Waves open season at Eudora, prepare for home meet Friday at Tonganoxie Water Park

Tongie Tidal Waves team members compete this past Friday at a swim meet in Eudora. The team competes at home this Friday at Tonganoxie Water Park.
The Tongie Tidal Waves hit the road Friday for their first swim meet of the 2021 season at Eudora.
Tidal Waves coach described conditions as “warm and toasty” for what turned out to be “an awesome event.”
Roughly 60 Eudora swimmers competed against Tonganoxie’s roughly 100 swimmers in the season opener.
To help with the number of swimmers on deck at the pool, organizers had two sessions. Swimmers ages 11-18 swam the first session, followed by swimmers ages 5-10 for the second session. The meet started at 7:30 a.m. and finished by noon with a break between the two sessions for families to leave and enter the pool facilities.
“All in all it was a huge success for all the swimmers,” Falk said.
The Tidal Waves are back in the water in the first home meet of the season starting at 7:30 a.m. this Friday at Tonganoxie Water Park against Lake Forest and Lake Quivira.
Friday’s meet is expected to finish up by noon.
Here are results from this past week’s meeting Friday:
