  The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is a large field of view
(~2 sr) continuously operating experiment sensitive to very-high energy (VHE)
gamma rays (~0.3-100 TeV). These characteristics make it well suited for
observing or constraining the VHE emission of rapid transients such as some
gravitational waves progenitors. Of special interest are the events at low
redshift where the attenuation due to the extragalactic background light is
minimal. This is the case for binary neutron star mergers in the horizon of the
LIGO and Virgo experiments, for which HAWC can either detect or place
constraining limits on events occurring in our field of view. We report on our
search for counterparts of the gravitational waves detected by LIGO and Virgo.
