West Weekly

Nick Chevalier

I hope everyone is having a wonderful winter break so far. As we reflect on the past year and look towards 2025, I am thankful to be part of such a great community and excited for the upcoming year! Please have a safe and Happy New Year!

 

Winter Championship Season & Holiday Training

Congratulations to all club team swimmers who competed at Junior Nationals and PNS Championships this past month. We had a strong showing across all groups and we are excited about our swimmer’s progress. The team has shifted gears and almost halfway through their Holiday training. Holiday training is an important part of the annual cycle where significant advancements are made, keep up the good work!

 

Schedule Change - Sunday 12/29

There is a slight change to the pool availability on Sunday and lap / open swim will not be available 1-3pm. The gym / weight room will not be available 3-4pm. Please see the updated full schedule listed below. 

 

Winter Break Schedule

The training period around the holidays is one of the most important times of the year! The team comes off December Championships and gets right back to work in preparation for the next phase of the annual training cycle. We run double practices and rent space to several other teams - both High School and Club while their home pools close down. While some of our Lap Swim times are reduced we are able to expand our Open Swim offerings. Please see the full schedule at the bottom of this email.
