WEST Weekly

Nice swimming to all of our WEST swimmers that competed at the Veteran’s Day Recognition meet! Meets are a great way for coaches to see how training is going for their swimmers, as well as a time for parents to come together within the team. It’s always nice to see our friends from BBST compete at our home pool as well! Good luck to our WEST High School girls swimmers who are heading to Districts this weekend! Read on for this week’s important info:

Volunteers / Officials

We all like our kid’s swims times to count, right? Whenever WEST hosts a home meet, it is imperative that WEST is able to provide the majority of officials for the meet - and this last meet ALMOST didn’t happen due to lack of officials. Please consider officiating - it will cover volunteer hours, and you are trained beforehand. WEST will even reimburse for any officiating costs. 

The NEXT clinic will be November 10th at the Mill Creek Community Association building (parking lot across from WEST) You MUST RSVP beforehand for the class! For questions or more information, please contact Dan Limberg, Aline Benson, or visit the PNS Officials page.

Help keep our kiddos’ legal & ensure their fast times count!

We are also still in need of meet volunteer positions - please contact Nancy Tien regarding hospitality OR Coach Margaret for any other swim meet positions. 

PNS Long Course Training – Olympic Trials Year

WEST is proud to be able to send a group of swimmers who have achieved at least one SCY Winter Junior cut to KCAC for winter training in preparation for Olympic Trials. It’s important to work together as a team with our LSC for the benefit of all athletes that are swimming at that next level. Read more about the training practices here.

Adult Conditioning at WEST

WEST has been running an adult fitness class in the gym since the beginning of October and we are seeing improvements every week! Move Strong is designed for senior individuals that focuses on increasing strength and optimize natural movements. The class covers a variety of mobility, resistance, and functional movement exercises which can be applied at home as well. Move Strong meets every Wednesday from 9:00 - 10:00am and is $5 for drop in or included in memberships!
