WEST Weekly
Here we are at the end of February already and our second WEST hosted meet of the year is this weekend!

Remember: WEST requires ALL Swim Team Families to volunteer a minimum number of hours based on each training group. This is the 2nd of ONLY 3 opportunities to satisfy this requirement and ALL UNFULLFILLED HOURS AT THE END OF AUGUST WILL BE CHARGED $15 per HOUR.

"Optional" Spring Break
To maximize our time in the water and best prepare for Long Course, we will be offering two different "optional" Spring Breaks based on which Championship Meet swimmers compete at this March.
Swimmers competing at Senior Sectionals (3/12-3/16) or Age Group Regionals (3/20-3/23) will be on break March 24th through March 27th.
Swimmers competing at Divisional Championships (3/29-3/30) will be on break March 31st through April 3rd.
We will continue to hold practices and any swimmers that want to stay in the water are encouraged to do so.
Good luck this weekend to all WEST swimmers competing!
