WEST Weekly

Dear parents, swimmers and race fans,

Welcome back from our unexpected break from swimming, hope everyone survived the storm. Thanks again for your patience and cooperation with amended schedules last week as we dealt with the weather.

WA Open Recap
This past weekend our swimmers competed at the annual Washington Open against teams from California, Oregon and Canada including even a few collegiate teams. Despite being out of the water and coming off our holiday training, we had several good swims and were able to learn many lessons about racing. Here is the link for the results: http://www.pns.org/EventShow.jsp?returnPage=%2FEventsPast.jsp&id=146318&team=pnws2
