WEST Weekly

Dear WEST aquatic community,
 
The end of January is nearing and we are deep in some of our heaviest training. The kids have been working extremely hard for several weeks now and it is really starting to show. Make sure we are eating properly, getting enough rest and stretching to take extra care of your body during this demanding time.
 
Annual Public Board Meeting – Tuesday, Jan 31st 6:30pm @ MCCA Board Room
We will be holding our annual general board meeting next Tuesday where we will discuss the annual budget and hold the annual vote of confidence. The meeting will be held at the Community Association’s Board Room (across the parking lot from the pool).
 
Update to Meet Declaration Process
In an effort to improve our meet declaration process, we have changed the declaration deadlines for each individual meet. Deadlines will be approximately 2 weeks before each meet (some meets, especially LCM will be further in advance) and each meet’s deadline is listed on the meet info page.
 
Optional Added Meet to Schedule – Bainbridge Island Invite – Feb 11-12
We are planning to attend the meet on Bainbridge Feb 11-12. After being closed out of Washington Open, we want to give everyone another opportunity to swim before March meets. This is the same weekend as Boy’s HS Districts and many people just traveled to attend the January Challenge so we will still be running normal practices as well if people don’t want to attend. Declaration deadline is still open!
 
WEST Hosted February AGI – Volunteer Sign-Ups OPEN SOON
Our 2 nd Hosted Meet and opportunity to fulfill Volunteer Hours is coming up February 24-26. We will host one of the PNS Age Group Invites at Kamiak.
 
"Tech Suits" Note from Sylvia’s Swimwear
All team members receive a 10% discount off MSRP on majority of products sold at Sylvia’s Swimwear locations. Sylvia’s offers individualized personal tech suit fittings through the Team and Corporate Office in Bellevue on an appointment only basis. Team members should call to schedule an appointment. If members are unable to make it to our Office, they can give us a call and we can size swimmers over the phone. As we get closer to the meets appointments will book quickly, and we will likely sell out of some styles and sizes, so it’s best to plan ahead!
 
Happy swimming,
Coach Nick
