Is Club Swimming for me?
Are you interested in Club Team Swimming or Recreation Team Swimming? The difference comes down to commitment level and goals, and changing between the two tracks is not always easy once established (especially going from Recreation to Club).
 
Club Teams are year-round and typically require greater commitments such as fundraising and volunteering requirements, and mandatory attendance. Recreational Teams have less requirements and allow swimmers to participate in other activities while progressing at their own pace. Club Teams compete monthly at state, regional, and national levels and the Recreational Teams have the option to compete 2-3 times per year locally.
 
Space at WEST is very limited and while we wish to keep everyone in our program, it simply isn't possible. 
 
We want to set all swimmers up for the greatest happiness and success; this means we may recommend another team if we feel that will best serve your swimmer's individual goals. For swimmers interested in Club Swimming who do not get selected for the WEST Club Team, our recommendation is to join a neighboring Club Team and try-out again for the WEST Club Team in a few seasons and after further improvement. 
 
Club Team Swimming: competes at a local, regional and national level, requires annual commitment, includes mandatory fundraising and volunteering requirements, mandatory practice and meet attendance, and swimmers must meet minimum requirements for each group, usually 4-8 practices per week depending on age.

PLEASE make sure to fully read and understand ALL the requirements and expectations of Club Swimming, if that is the path you wish to pursue.
*Please note, we are currently only accepting tryouts from athletes that meet the following time standards in one or more events:
Development - BB

Junior - A
Senior - AA
 
Recreation Team Swimming: participate at your desired commitment level, 2-3 local meets per year, 2-3 practices offered per week, all of which are optional. Click here for more information on our Recreation Team.
