Parking Lot Safety
The lights have been replaced and we are absolutely thrilled! Even though our parking lot is illuminated nightly, please remember these safety guidelines:
-
Please do not drop off swimmers earlier than 15 minutes before their scheduled practice / lesson.
-
Parents are expected to be on WEST premises for swim lessons. For PreComp and team swimmer, parents are not required to stay on premises for the duration of practice.
-
Children should not be playing unsupervised in the parking lot. Children are allowed to congregate in the green room and front entryway outside. If children are found playing in the parking lot, they will be asked to wait with their parents. Children should not play on the landscaping and trees to avoid injuries.
-
Lock cars, and keep valuables locked in lockers or safely put away in a bag on deck. WEST is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
-
Please keep lights on and drive safely when navigating the parking lot. Follow all marked traffic signs and DO NOT IDLE at the entrance.
-
Please report any suspicious behavior to WEST management immediately.
Air Handler Maintenance:
Over the next few days, our air handler that provides fresh, non-chlorinated air to the pool area will be going through maintenance to ensure the heater is working properly. While this is happening, we may lose circulation of air flow throughout the day, resulting in condensation accumulating on deck. Maintenance should be complete in a few days, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
High School Conditioning Clinic
WEST will be holding stroke technique clinics specifically for any high school students during winter break to help keep those athletes in the water in their off season. WEST’s USA Swimming trained and certified coaches will be working on all aspects of the four competitive stroke including dives and turns to ensure that every athlete will leave with a better understanding of the sport. Train smarter, not harder at WEST this season. WEST also offers high school conditioning weekdays in the spring after boys season ends from 2:30 - 4:00pm, as well as on weekends for any swimmers looking to continue training in their off-season.
