Open Water Swimming Practices Starting Up Again

The lake is warming up and we are just about ready to start some Open Water training. With our summer meet schedule still getting finalized, we will announce more Open Water opportunities as they arise. Wetsuits are mandatory but if you don't have one, don't worry! West purchased several wetsuits from BlueSeventy to start a rental program. Swimmers may use one of the team wetsuits for $10 per day, which will help recoup what we spent on them. Additonally, we have new individual flotation bags for each swimmer to use while we are in the open water, the use of these is free but mandatory. 

Any swimmer participating in West Open Water practices must sign-up ahead of time, by visiting this link (click here) and must also complete and sign the following Guidelines & Waiver form (click here). 

We are going to start on Tuesday afternoons for our Senior and Senior Elite swimmers. The first Open Water practice will be Tuesday, 5/25 and this will be in place of normal afternoon practice for these groups. We will add more offerings as we set them up.
