WEST Weekly

Dear WEST community,

Welcome to summer and happy Fourth of July! The pool is closed and we aren’t running any programs, so everyone have a fun and safe time with family and friends.

 

WEST represented at World Championship Trials Last Week

WEST swimmer Jon Cook represented us at US Nationals & World Championship Trials last week. This meet served as the selection meet for the US National and Junior National Teams that will represent USA at Fina World Championships later this summer. Jon made finals in his 200 breaststroke, an outstanding feat considering the pressure of swimming against Olympians and the best swimmers in the country. With most of teams at the meet being college and university programs, this meet was great exposure for Jon and the entire WEST program.

Maintenance Closure – Aug 26^th – Sept 8^th

We are planning a two week maintenance closure so we can get some work done around the facility. We are planning to replace our pool lights with more efficient units and get some projects done that we can’t do during normal business operations (painting, tile work, pool gutter cleaning, deck pressure washing, etc.). Girls HS season will have already started, so we are securing pool time at McCollum Pool.
