Hello WEST Parents, As a reminder, WEST is following the CDC's recommendations of limiting large gatherings of people to prevent the potential spread of the Coronavirus hence why practices are still running seperately at their respective time slots. As such, we will not be allowing spectators on deck for these practices this weekend. We thank you for your patience and cooperation during this time as we work to ensure safety for our swimmers, families, and overall community. It takes teamwork and communication from everyone to make these practices a success....
