WEST Weekly & 2017 Summer Schedule

WEST Swim Folk,
 
Midway through May and things are getting busier by the minute. Thank you to everyone that came out to help with our Double Header Meet last weekend. I was impressed to see many of the kids swimming close to their best times despite racing so many events in such a short time.
 
NO PRACTICE TONIGHT – Fri 5/12
Due to the Distance Meet tonight at WEST, there will be no practice for all groups.
 
Summer Team – Registration OPEN
Tell your friends, we are restructuring our Summer Team this year and lowering the price! We are splitting the practice sessions by age groups (13&O @ AM, 12&U @ PM) to try and get more high school swimmers involved. WEST Summer Team is a great way for High School swimmers to gain a competitive advantage through refining stroke mechanics and proper technique instruction. We’ve also added optional Saturday practices for Summer Team!
 
Open Water Clinics @ WEST – Sunday mornings 8-10am
We are putting on a series of swim clinics to help triathletes and other open water swimmers get ahead on the upcoming season. We will be doing several in-pool sessions at WEST through May and two in-lake sessions at Martha Lake on June 4 th and 18 th. Cost is $50 per session and more info is available at the Front Desk.
 
Team Spirit Wear Update
Everyone who ordered team spirit wear should have received a phone call from Mike, the owner of the local company that provides us with our team shirts. He had some complications which caused the delay in getting our gear and consequently he is offering everyone a partial refund on what they ordered. Shirts are expected to be delivered next week.
 
Memorial Day Schedule Changes
No practice ALL Groups.
No Lessons or Pre-Comp.
Pool Open for Lap Swim until 2pm.
 
Colman Pre-Season Dates
Colman Pool will open the day after Memorial Day. During the Pre-Season (between Memorial Day and when school is out) the following groups will practice at Colman at the following times:
 
Senior Elite: Tuesdays 4-8pm, Saturdays 8-10am
Senior, Accelerate & Challenge: Fridays 6-8pm
 
*Note: the team does not supply a bus during Pre-Season like we do during the summer. The last week of Pre-Season will likely be different as the city will switch to summer schedule before our kids are out of school. We will update everyone on practice schedule for that week when we get closer.
