Coaches’ Update:
Dear WCSC Families,
We are officially down to one more dual meet before our Conference Championships next weekend! Please help us celebrate our graduating seniors on Saturday (WHO @ WCSC) by gathering around the pool during our first event, the 15-18 50-yard freestyle. Each graduating senior will be recognized and we want our entire team to show them our WCSC spirit as we wish them all the best on their next journey!
CONGRATS to our 6&U, Caedon Quinn, who broke not just one but TWO pool records at MCST! He broke the 6&U 25-yard butterfly record with a 22.48 (previous record was 24.00), and in breaststroke with a 28.15 (previous record was 29.15)!! Caedon also recently set WCSC’s very first team and pool record in the 6&U Boys 100-yard Individual Medley!
Looking forward to an incredible remainder of our 2025 swim season!

Conference Meet:
The deadline to sign in to Conference has passed if you are signed in and can no longer make the meet please let Coach Emily know.
Plan for the Nightrider visits on Thursday 7/24 and fill out this form to help the nightriders find you NIGHTRIDER DELIVERY LOCATION.
The nightrider delivery is a longstanding and very fun tradition and it’s even more fun when you get together with other families and share dinner and wait for the Nightriders together. Plus it helps reduce the number of houses our Nightriders need to get to that evening. So they can get to all the houses before bedtime!
