September is winding down to a close and we count our blessings everyday to be open and operating - please remember we need your help to keep this up! Remember to read through our Reopening Guidelines and Policies found here; staying open requires all members and participants to follow the rules! Read on for important information for our amazing members:

 

Parent Meeting - All Team Parents

We will have our yearly parent meeting for our competitive team families on Saturday October 10th from 1:00 - 2:00pm. Coaches will be sending out an email with how to log onto the virtual meeting within the week. Mark your calendars! 

 

Swimmer Drop Off

As the weather begins cooling down and the rain becomes more frequent, please make sure that your swimmers are abiding by social distancing before and after practices / lessons as well as equipped with appropriate outerwear. Any gatherings out front must maintain social distancing, or we will need to have the kids remain in their respective vehicles until 5 minutes before their practice. We need your help to maintain safety!

 

Updated Fall Schedule - Starts Monday October 5th

As a reminder, our new schedule begins next week - please be aware of the practice time changes - If you have conflicts, questions, or concerns, please notify your respective group coach. To view the original email, click here.

 

Masters Practices Resume Friday, October 9th

Masters practices RETURN Friday, October 9th from 8:00 - 9:00pm! We hope that we will be able to continue to expand offerings as we head into fall. Masters swimmers must be a WEST member and either have a lap swim membership or punch card. Reserve your lane ahead of time by contacting Amber at [email protected].

 

Lap Swim: Expanded Hours.

With the change starting on October 5, lap swim will be extended midday until 11:00am on Monday - Thursday, and until 2:00pm on Fridays. Hooray! Email into the office to reserve a lane.

We are constantly reviewing our decisions and trying to find the best way to serve our swimmers and families effectively and safely, while ensuring that  the community still has a pool to train and enjoy in years to come. These changes to lessons will continue to follow our reopening guidelines:

  1. Extra wide lane configuration to encourage social distancing in classes.

  2. Class sizes will increase to 4 swimmers maximum per class for deep water classes only. (Intermediate 1 - Advanced)

  3. Introduction of Beginner 1 & 2 classes with instructors in water with face shield on for those classes only.

  4. Parent / Child classes will still be offered for parents that do not feel comfortable having the instructors in close proximity to their swimmer.

  5. We have added an additional time for group lessons at 5:30pm on weekdays.

 

Remember, tough times never last but tough people do! Happy swimming!
