WEST News - August 2026

I can’t believe it’s August and the end of the swim season is here! The Club and Rec Swim Teams completed their seasons with outstanding results and we have just one more week before we close the facility for our annual maintenance. We will reopen under the Fall Schedule on Mon 8/31!

What a Successful Championship Season!

The Club Team competed at several Championship Meets including some exciting travel: PNS Champs in Federal Way, WA; Futures Championship in Sacramento, CA; US Nationals in Irvine, CA; Senior Zones in Clovis, CA! We finished the year with 7th and 12th place finishes at Long Course PNS Championships, broke 32 SCY records and 18 LCM team records, had new swimmers (including relays) qualify for Futures Championships and had a Junior National Champion and swimmer selected for the National Junior Team - both firsts in program history! Our team was once again recognized as a Top-200 program and awarded the Bronze Medal of USA Swimming's Club Excellence program, a major accomplishment given our small size.

August - Facility Closed for Maintenance 8/17-8/30; Memberships Rates Adjusted for Closure

As a reminder, we will be closed for our annual maintenance the last two weeks of August and reopen on Monday 8/31. This period allows us to clean and repair areas of the facility that we aren’t able to during our normal operations, plus allows vacation time for our hardworking staff. Membership rates for the month of August were adjusted ahead of time to account for the reduced access to the facility. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation. 

Registrations OPEN NOW!

Several programs are now open for registration for the fall:

Club Team: Open now by invite only. Anyone interested in switching club teams or trying out should complete a Try-Out Request Form. 

Rec Team: Priority registration for select returning Summer Rec Team swimmers opened this morning at 8am. General Rec Team registration will open next Saturday 8/15 at 8am. We’ve increased capacity for next year but popular times will fill fast so act quickly!

Swim School Lessons: Opens tonight at 5pm for returning swimmers and 6pm for new swimmers (or anyone who hasn’t enrolled in the last 3 months).

Staff Attending ASCA World Clinic in Orlando, FL

We are investing in our coaches and managers through continued education at the American Swim Coaches Association World Clinic in Orlando, FL! There are several different learning tracks that we will each attend and the opportunity to talk and learn from other top coaches. We are honored to have Coach Carlene selected to speak at the conference and Coach Mariana served on the planning committee! 

September - Membership Rates Increase

With significant cost increases this past year and considering we haven’t adjusted membership rates in many years, we must raise Facility Use Membership Rates this upcoming year. We hope everyone can understand our position as we continue to improve operations and provide swimming to our local community at affordable and reasonable rates. We will be instituting a $20 administrative fee for new account registrations and to restart your account after a pause. The new rates effective 9/1/26 will be as follows:

Single: $48

Couple: $75

Household: $105

Senior / Student Single: $43

Senior Couple: $68

NEW: Corporate Sponsorship Packages for 2026-27 Season!

We have three tiers of sponsorship ranging from $600 to $1500 and include different levels of advertising and benefit for corporate sponsors. Click here for more information and sponsorship package details.

Dryland Only Rec Team Option

This past year we included a dryland option that can be added to existing Rec Team groups or on its own for swimmers age 10-18 years old. The program is designed by national leaders SwimStrong Dryland and aims to improve strength and fitness that both compliments swim training and helps prevent injury. Dryland is a major component to our Club Team’s success and increased athleticism makes technique changes easier and increased strength and stamina leading to faster swimming! We strongly encourage all Rec Swimmers and High School athletes to consider adding Dryland to their training regiment!

World-renowned physical therapist Dr. John Mullen is now seeing patients right here at WEST! Dr. John specializes in swimming-specific rehabilitation and performance, having worked with numerous World and Olympic Champions.
