WEST News - September 2025
This is a subtitle for your new post
Welcome back! This is always an exciting time of the year as we kick off our annual season, switch our schedule back to accommodate the start of school. I hope everyone had a great summer and enjoyed the break away from the pool at the end of August.
New Website & New Platform
As you’ve likely noticed we updated our website and moved our entire organization over to a new management platform called Captyn. The registration process has changed but the content (waivers, etc) is the same. Please reach out to Amber at office@westswimteam.com if you have any trouble or questions.
NEW Dryland Program for Athletes 11-18 years old!
We expanded our Recreation Team offerings this year to include Dryland training. Athletes can combine Rec offerings to build their own custom schedule and maximize their benefit. Dryland training is one of the best ways to advance your swimming and increase athleticism. Learn more about Rec Team offerings here: https://www.westswimteam.com/recreation-swim-team
NEW Swim School Lessons Program Curriculum
We restructured our Swim School levels for this fall, renaming the groups and adding a precursor to the program to allow for younger swimmers to get a head start on learning to swim. We are also working on a Parent-Lead Clinics for babies, stay tuned for more information to come and read about the rest of our Swim School here: https://www.westswimteam.com/swim-lessons
Girls High School Season - Going on NOW!
As a reminder, we rent pool space to 3 local high school teams: Jackson, Archbishop Murphy and North Creek. The Girls season runs from late August through mid-November and the Boy’s season runs from mid-November through mid-February. We host meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays which start at 1:30pm and will end lap swim early on those days (see dates posted below).
WEST Spirit Week - NEXT WEEK!
The Club Team is having Spirit Week next week to celebrate the start of the new season and leading up to the Club Team Welcome Picnic. Here is an overview, feel free to show your WEST pride:
