Given all the excitement around WEST, I need to send out a couple more reminders: Thank you to everyone that attended last night's parent meeting. We wanted to also update everyone on the coaching plan for the interim until a more permanent replacement is hired. Bjorn Falk, an old teammate of mine, recently moved to Seattle in August and has been occasionally helping out around the pool. Bjorn swam D1 in college for Virginia where he was an individual ACC Conference Champion and NCAA Championship qualifier. Bjorn will be running...

Relays are worth more points than individual events and with your teammates relying on you to be there, it is important everyone shows up that is supposed to swim. If you cannot attend and are listed on a relay, let Nick know immediately...
