Hello WEST Community, Congrats to all of our swimmers that competed at our WEST single Age Group invite this past weekend at Kamiak High School. It was awesome being able to race swimmers from Coach Carlene’s last team, Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics and the kiddos were able to gain new insights to the swimming world outside of PNS :) We can’t wait to see PASA again and look forward to new opportunities in the future to meet other new teams. Thank You Volunteers!!! Thank you to all our hardworking volunteers...

Many swimmers competed in finals for the first time and we had lots of significant time drops.

We saw swimmers helping out while both parents worked the meet, and couldn’t have done it without their dedication. Volunteer hours will be posted to accounts shortly, please...
