WEST Weekly

Tim Senholtz

Good Morning WEST,

 

We hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. The news is abuzz right now regarding states’ reopening plans, and WEST is working diligently to have a structured and safe plan for our approaching reopening date. Please read below for the most up to date information!

 

WEST Duathlon Fundraiser

Our fundraiser is live now and everyone can join! Just create a Strava account to log your exercise for the month of May and join our WEST Coast Aquatics club. Proceeds raised will directly benefit WEST Coast Aquatics, and a portion will be donated to Food Lifeline to help those in need in the Greater Seattle Area. Questions or concerns, contact Coach Emily!

 

Do you know someone interested in donating? We have a sample letter here for them to read to learn more about WEST!

 

Donations can be made out to:

Open Water Swimming

WEST will be running open water practices in groups of 5 swimmers at the end of May in Martha Lake. Swimmer’s wishing to participate must be in Challenge or older and have a wet suit. No exceptions! A follow up email with more information / dates & times, as well as a sign up sheet will be sent out shortly.

 

Team Excellence - Zoom Meeting:

Our normally scheduled Spring Team Excellence clinic has needed to be changed due to the pandemic. WEST is setting up a private webinar with Toni Armstrong focusing on leadership and a component for parents. We are planning for a late May / early June clinic - so please stay tuned as more information will be emailed out when dates and times are finalized. 

 

Senior Recognition

Due to circumstances, we will be spotlighting our graduating WEST swimmers and staff by social media instead of our normal bulletin board. Over these next few weeks as we would normally be preparing for the end of the year festivities / graduation. Parent’s, please send a photo that you would like your swimmer to use for you graduating senior swimmer’s spotlight to [email protected] and any little blurb you might want to add. 

 

Stay strong WEST and just keep swimming.

 

Best,

WEST Coaching Staff
