WEST Weekly

Dear WEST Swim Fanatics,

More than halfway through July, where has time gone this summer? PNS Champs are one week away and the WEST pool continues to be packed with kids and families all day, everyday.

Saturday Practice - Challenge & Accelerate At Colman

This Saturday, we will have Accelerate and Challenge practice from 8-10am at Colman. There is not a bus, so please start planning now for carpools.

Volunteering at Champs - still some positions needed to be filled

Thanks to everyone who has already signed up to work at the Champs meet next week. We still need extra help timing on Thursday, Friday and Sunday evenings. We will be providing meet t-shirts for finals timers. Swimmers not competing and over 11 years old can time with a parent during finals. Or friends. or Neighbors. or Grandparents. It will be exciting, fun and a great team, and community event.

We also still need some baked goods for hospitality. Please let Mary Forsberg ([email protected]) or Claudine Toh ([email protected]) know if you are able to help out.

Volunteer Requirement Fee (Applicable to Swim Team Families ONLY)

As stated in the Registration Packet, ALL swim team families are required to work at all WEST hosted meets and have a minimum number of required hours based on the training group of their child. Families that fall short of their hourly commitment will be billed $12 per hour ($48 per 4 hour session). Please contact [email protected] if you have any specific questions with your volunteer commitment or how you can help at Champs.

Break from Swimming

Following PNS Champs, we will have optional practices July 30th through August 4th. We will return with official practices September 3rd (and possibly have some optional practices the week before, with more information to come as we get closer).

It's been an exciting season so far and we've put down some serious work. Let's make sure we stay focused, rest and eat right to maximize our potential over the next couple weeks.

Nick, Ken, Jordyn and Rachel
