West Weekly
We are well into April now, congratulations for making it through April Fool’s Day (hopefully unscathed). Many of our swimmers and kids are on Spring Break this week, we hope you are enjoying either more time with family or more lane space at the pool!
Summer Team Registration - OPEN NOW!
Summer Team registration is LIVE! Summer Team is a great introduction to competitive swimming and we have many different time and day options available.

Donation Letter Writing Party - Saturday 4/19
On Saturday, April 19th we are holding a Bruncheon for our Club Team swimmers to write letters to solicit donations for Swim-A-Thon. We hope to raise $50,000 this year to put towards our major renovation project (see below).
Major Renovation Project & Teaching Pool Construction
We’ve been exploring the possibility of building another swim lessons pool along with a major facility update. We’ve been working with an architect firm, construction companies and many consultants to come up with a realistic idea of what the project would cost and look like. The preliminary estimates are coming in at $3.5 million and will require a combination of fundraising and loans but the more we raise, the less we have to borrow. The goal of this project is to preserve WEST for the next 20+ years, expand our current offerings and better serve our community!
Swim-A-Thon - Friday 5/2
Our annual major fundraising is scheduled for Friday, May 2nd! The club team swimmers will be racing to see how far they can swim in 2 hours. Last year’s record was 9300 yards or 372 laps!
Spring Olympian Clinic - 5/9-5/10
We are excited about our next Olympian Clinic set for Friday, May 9th and Saturday, May 10th. Stay tuned for more information to be announced as we get closer!
Water Safety Day - 5/15
Mark your calendars! Water Safety Day will be Saturday, May 15th this year and we have some fun activities planned. We will send more information as we get closer.
