WEST Weekly

Dear WEST Swim Folk,
 
April is almost over and we are meet season is starting up again. Thank you to everyone that came and helped out to make the Gold’s & West April Showers Meet such a success. We had lots of time drops and many of our new swimmers got to compete for the first time! We received a lot of positive feedback, so we hope to do more small dual meets like that in the future.
 
Timers Needed at May Flowers Meet THIS WEEKEND
We still need to provide timers during Saturday Afternoon Session. PLEASE HELP OUT so we can work in shorter shifts and no one is stuck working the entire session. Contact Jasmine (Max & Ryan’s mom) if you are willing to help.
 
Spring Clean Up Day – May 21st
We are planning several big projects this year and trying to organize our efforts to maximize effectiveness. The two main priorities are The Back Wall of the Pool - we need to clear the area, rake & shovel away the dirt and lay cinder blocks to build a small retaining wall. As time allows, we will begin demo on the siding that is rotten and will be replaced on Sunday. The Front Curb - we will be jackhammering the concrete in both walkways (that have started eroding) in front of the building. We will be prepping the area for new concrete to be poured and finished by professionals.
 
We will work in 2 x 4 hour shifts. We have some shovels and rakes, but will need people to bring wheelbarrows and a few extra tools (please just clearly MARK anything you bring with your name).
Anyone signing up to volunteer must have experience doing manual labor and using hand tools.
 
Job Sign-Ups are available by clicking here. These hours WILL count towards your Service Hour requirement.
 
Practice Schedule Changes for TOMORROW (Sat 4/30)
All swimmers from Challenge, Accelerate, Senior and Senior Elite that are NOT swimming at May Flowers Meet will swim with Coach Jess 9-11am.
