Dear WEST Swimming Fanatics, Well we did it, we hosted a very successful PNS Long Course Championship Meet! Much thanks to the volunteers that made the meet run as smooth as possible and GREAT JOB to all the swimmers that competed, leaving WEST's mark on Pacific Northwest Swimming. WEST finished in 10th place overall, a very impressive finish as the teams ranked ahead of us have between 2 and 3 times as many swimmers. We had multiple PNS Champions and a couple High Point Award Winners in addition to many...

Well, here it is: the final week of official practices for the Summer and PNS Long Course Champs this weekend! We've all worked really hard all season, and this weekend will be the culmination of all that hard work (although we are still relying on the hard work of our parents and volunteers to ensure a successful swim meet, so thank you in advance). We still need some volunteers, specifically timers. Please sign-up on the sheets posted at the pool by the front desk if you can help. Psych Sheet...

Dear WEST Swim Fanatics, If you have been by the pool this week, you can tell that summer is here! Things are jam-packed at the pool all day long and finding an open lane for lap swim can be quite a challenge (FYI- the best time to swim is either before 7am or after 7:30pm). It's nice to see so many people around the pool and glad to be continuing to grow the greater swimming community. Water Safety Day Recap Thanks to everyone that participated in our first annual Water...
