Yard Sale: This Saturday, too!
Donations can be dropped off in the gym starting Thursday. Please assist with pricing on Thursday and Friday and running the sale on Saturday morning. If you would like to contribute baked goods to the sale, drop off individually packaged items on Friday evening. Come help us raise additional funds towards our Locker Room Remodel! Even an hour of your time will make a difference.
May Meet Options - IMPORTANT!
The Sockeye Sprint Meet, scheduled for May 17-19 has already filled, closing us out of it. There is another meet in Anacortes that same weekend, however it is Short Course Meters. We are also looking into hosting another meet at WEST in early June to give our swimmers another opportunity to race. We highly recommend everyone attend the Pasco Meet, as this will be the last chance to qualify for the rest of the Long Course meets.
Pasco Meet/Tri-City Open: May 31-June 2
Entries are currently be submitted for the Tri-City Open. Please let your coach know if your swimmer will not be swimming on all three days.

WEST Dryland Boot-Camp Coming Soon!
Adding to our list of offerings at the club, we will be starting a Dryland Boot-Camp class in June. The program will be run in conjunction with Engineered Sports in Everett and they will be sending one of their certified staff members to run the class. Classes will be held Monday & Wednesday 8:15-9:15am. This follows our Masters practice from 6:30-8am but will be an entirely seperate program open to anyone looking for more functional strength or to simply stay fit. Cost will be $15 for drop-ins and we will have punch card and membership options. Remember: Strong is the new skinny!
