WEST Weekly (Part II)

Given all the excitement around WEST, I need to send out a couple more reminders:

Thank you to everyone that attended last night's parent meeting. We wanted to also update everyone on the coaching plan for the interim until a more permanent replacement is hired.

Bjorn Falk, an old teammate of mine, recently moved to Seattle in August and has been occasionally helping out around the pool. Bjorn swam D1 in college for Virginia where he was an individual ACC Conference Champion and NCAA Championship qualifier. Bjorn will be running practice this Friday and Saturday for those swimmers attending 14 & Under Champs and will be helping on-deck at Champs. If you would like to meet Bjorn, feel free to stop by on Saturday at 11am after practice. Next week, I am traveling to Knoxville, Tennessee for USA Swimming Junior Nationals. Bjorn will again be running practices in my place, so it is good for everyone to get to know him.

Practice Schedule - Next Two Weeks

Thursday Nov 29 - Normal Schedule
Friday Nov 30 - No AM practice, Normal PM Schedule
Saturday Dec 1 - 14 & Under Champ Swimmers ONLY - 9-11am. NO Practice for Explore or Discover (except those swimming at PNS 14 & Under Champs)
 
We appreciate your patience during this hectic time. With one-less-coach and Rachel recovering from her accident, we are all on overload. We are doing our best to maintain consistency with the kids and preparing them for the upcoming Championships is the top priority. Please use email as the preferred method of communication and call only if it requires immediate attention. Thank you all for your cooperation and support as we nevigate this hardship.
 
happy swimming.
