West Weekly
Happy April! I hope no one got fooled too badly, I always seem to fall for a few. We are most of the way through Spring Break Week 1 and have one more week of a modified schedule. Next week we have a neighboring team renting 2 lanes 7-8pm so open & lap swim will be reduced to 3 lanes.
Early Start Morning Lap Swim through 4/12
With club team practices on hold for the next couple weeks, we are going to extend weekday morning lap swim to start at 6:15am! This can start immediately and will be Mon-Fri through April 12th.
Swim-A-Thon Fundraising Campaign Started
We are kicking off our annual Swim-A-Thon fundraising campaign. The swimmers will be soliciting donations to help maintain the facility. This year’s funds will be used to pay for a feasibility study done by an Architecture Firm that looks into a major renovation and construction of a separate warm-water teaching pool. We are really excited about our future and appreciate everyone’s help and continued support!
Summer Team Registration NOW OPEN!
Our Summer Rec Team is a great introductory and non-commitment way to try competitive swimming. Several time slots filled last year and we anticipate it filling again this year, so don’t wait if you want a spot! Please see the Summer Team page where you can find more info and register.
Spring Break 4/1-4/5 Weight Room / Gym Closed
We are going to be deep cleaning and reorganizing Monday-Friday during the first Spring Break week (4/1-4/5), sorry for any inconvenience.
Spring Break 4/1-4/12 Increased Lap & Open Swim Times
From Monday 4/1 through Friday 4/12 we will start weekday evening Lap & Open Swim an hour early at 7pm! This is a great opportunity for kids and families to play in the pool. Please make sure to read our policy on parent coaching as no one outside of West employees are allowed to do any coaching or private lessons. During Spring Break Week 2 (4/8-4/12) only 3 lanes are available 7-8:30pm.
Saturday 4/20 Weight Room Opens Late @ 3:30pm
We are kicking off our Swim-A-Thon fundraising campaign with a party for each club team group where the kids will write donation letters while they eat some food we provide. The weight room / gym will be open 3:30-7pm, thanks for understanding.
Summer Schedule Will Start June 24th
Mark your calendars, we will switch to our Summer Schedule on Monday 6/24 and run until Saturday 8/17. The schedule will be similar to last year and announced soon.
