WEST Weekly

Dear WEST Folks,

Welcome to the start of another busy week here around the pool. I can't believe it is November already and the holidays are right around the corner. It's getting colder outside, so let's make sure we are staying warm and dry after practice. 

Volunteer Hours Updated on Accounts

Everyone's accounts have been adjusted to reflect this year's Volunteer Requirement (which breaks down to the same as it was last year by group). Please keep in mind that ONLY hours worked at our hosted swim meets count towards this requirement and our first opportunity to work will be the November Age Group Invite that we are hosting at Kamiak in a couple weeks. If you have questions, please contact [email protected].

November Age Group Invite

There are still a few available spots to help volunteer at the November Age Group Invite. Please sign up by clicking the events tab and scrolling down to November Age Group Invite and then clicking on Job Signup in the top right-hand corner. ( here is the direct link). 

Entries have been updated and are being finalized this week and will be updated to the website. The link is available under the Swim Team page ( click here for direct link) and scrolling down to "Meet Entry Info" under "Important Links".
