West News - March 2026

Happy Spring! Don’t forget to adjust your clocks on Sunday, it’s nice to have longer days and hopefully see a little more sunshine soon too. The weather inside the pool is always consistent so don’t let the rain or cold keep you away!

Increased Water Aerobics & Change to Lap Swim Schedule - Mon, Wed, Fri AM

With our Water Aerobics group growing, we need to allocate more lanes for them to safely hold class. We will be closing Lap Swim 8-9am on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We see great value in keeping our Senior Members moving and hope everyone can accommodate this change while we continue to expand the Water Aerobics group. The gym will remain open during this time and all Facility Use Members are welcome to attend Water Aerobic classes!

Expanded Lap Swim Evening Time

We are now offering additional Lap Swim time 8:30-9:30pm Monday-Friday!

Thanks to Volunteers at WEST Hosted Swim Meets!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who worked to help us host both the PNS Age Group Invite at Mary Wayte pool in Mercer Island and the WEST Rec Winter Meet last weekend! We can't pull these events off without the support of our community and we especially appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility as we navigated some technical challenges. 

Good Luck to WEST Club Swimmers at Upcoming Championships

March means Champs Season is here! Our athletes will be competing at either USA Swimming Sectionals in Indiana, Northwest Age Group Regionals in Federal Way or PNS Divisionals over the upcoming weeks! This will conclude the Short Course Season after which Long Course Season will commence. These are the moments when all the hard work culminates and we are excited to see how fast the kids swim! 

Swim-A-Thon & Letter Writing Party

We are kicking off our annual fundraising campaign with our Letter Writing Party on Sat 4/18 and Swim-A-Thon on Fri 5/1! Swimmers will be writing letters to friends and  family soliciting donations then will swim to see how far they can go in 2 hours of straight swimming! Last year individual swimmers completed over 9000 yards! These fundraisers not only help us reduce monthly fees but a portion will be allocated to our major renovation plans. 

NEW: Corporate Sponsorship Packages for 2026-27 Season!

In conjunction with our upcoming Swim-A-Thon, we are offering multiple corporate sponsorship packages. We have three tiers of sponsorship ranging from $600 to $1500 and include different levels of advertising and benefit for corporate sponsors.
